[PATCH 1/1] Btrfs: btrfs_release_super_kobj() should clean up the kobject data

[Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The following test case which is a fair tweak with in the funcation
open_ctree() fails with an error from kobject module, indicating that
thread tried to init an initialized object.

kernel: [232104.016513] kobject (ffff880006c1c980): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.

btrfs_sysfs_remove_one() self test code:

open_tree()
{
 ::
        ret = btrfs_sysfs_add_one(fs_info);
	if (ret) {
              pr_err("BTRFS: failed to init sysfs interface: %d\n", ret);
                goto fail_block_groups;
        }
+       btrfs_sysfs_remove_one(fs_info);
+       ret = btrfs_sysfs_add_one(fs_info);
+       if (ret) {
+               pr_err("BTRFS: failed to init sysfs interface: %d\n", ret);
+               goto fail_block_groups;
+       }

cleaning up the unregistered kobject fixes this.
