vfio/mdev: Fix reference count leak in add_mdev_supported_type
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Thus, replace kfree() by kobject_put() to fix this issue. Previous commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.
