btrfs: fix double free in create_space_info() error path
When kobject_init_and_add() fails, the call chain is:
create_space_info()
-> btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type()
-> kobject_init_and_add()
-> failure
-> kobject_put(&space_info->kobj)
-> space_info_release()
-> kfree(space_info)
Then control returns to create_space_info():
btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type() returns error
-> goto out_free
-> kfree(space_info)
This causes a double free.
Keep the direct kfree(space_info) for the earlier failure path, but
after btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type() has called kobject_put(), let
the kobject release callback handle the cleanup.
