sched_ext: Use kobject_put() for kobject_init_and_add() failure in scx_alloc_and_add_sched()

Browse source

kobject_init_and_add() failure requires kobject_put() for proper cleanup, but
the error paths were using kfree(sch) possibly leaking the kobject name. The
kset_create_and_add() failure was already using kobject_put() correctly.

Switch the kobject_init_and_add() error paths to use kobject_put(). As the
release path puts the cgroup ref, make scx_alloc_and_add_sched() always
consume @cgrp via a new err_put_cgrp label at the bottom of the error chain
and update scx_sub_enable_workfn() accordingly.
