4ce6435820d1f1cc2c2788e232735eb244bcc8a3 upstream.
If addition of sysfs files fails on registration of a hotplug slot, the
struct pci_slot as well as the entry in the slot_list is leaked. The
issue has been present since the hotplug core was introduced in 2002:

Perhaps the idea was that even though sysfs addition fails, the slot
should still be usable. But that's not how drivers use the interface,
they abort probe if a non-zero value is returned.
