btrfs: fix leak of kobject name for sub-group space_info

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix leak of kobject name for sub-group space_info

When create_space_info_sub_group() allocates elements of
space_info->sub_group[], kobject_init_and_add() is called for each
element via btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type(). However, when
check_removing_space_info() frees these elements, it does not call
btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() on them. As a result, kobject_put() is
not called and the associated kobj->name objects are leaked.

This memory leak is reproduced by running the blktests test case
zbd/009 on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK. The kmemleak
feature reports the following error:

unreferenced object 0xffff888112877d40 (size 16):

To avoid the leak, call btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() instead of
kfree() for the elements.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
