'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths
it is not freed, hence we have a memory leak.
Fix the error path before kobject_init_and_add() by adding kfree().
kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to
kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next
to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error
path after it.
Fix the error handling after kobject_init_and_add() by moving the
kobject_put() into the goto label err_other_attr_init that is already
used by all the error paths after kobject_init_and_add().

If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference
to that attribute is returned which needs to be disposed accordingly
using kobject_put(). Use kobject_put() to dispose the duplicate
attribute in such a case.
As a side note, a very similar bug was fixed in
commit 7295a996fd ("platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak"),
so it seems that the bug was copied from that driver.
Compile-tested only.

This function escapes certain special characters like \n. So if the
last character in the string is a '\n' then it gets changed into two
characters '\' and '\n'. But maybe we only have space for the '\' so
we need to check for that.
The "conv_dst_size" variable is always less than or to equal the "size"
variable. It's easier to just check "conv_dst_size" instead of checking
both.
