When device_register() return error in atm_register_sysfs(), which can be
triggered by kzalloc fail in device_private_init() or other reasons,
kmemleak reports the following memory leaks:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810182fb80 (size 8):
comm "insmod", pid 504, jiffies 4294852464
hex dump (first 8 bytes):

When device_create_file() return error in atm_register_sysfs(), the same
issue also can be triggered.
Function put_device() should be called to release kobj->name memory and
other device resource, instead of kfree().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
