platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference to that attribute is returned. This means that we need to dispose it accordingly. Use kobject_put() to dispose the duplicate attribute in such a case. Compile-tested only.
