In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: Fix device name leak when register device failed in add_mtd_device()
There is a kmemleak when register device failed:
unreferenced object 0xffff888101aab550 (size 8):
comm "insmod", pid 3922, jiffies 4295277753 (age 925.408s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):

If register device failed, should call put_device() to give up the
reference.
