sysfs: kill an extra put in sysfs_create_link() failure path

Browse Source 
There is a subtle bug in sysfs_create_link() failure path.  When
symlink creation fails because there's already a node with the same
name, the target sysfs_dirent is put twice - once by failure path of
sysfs_create_link() and once more when the symlink is released.

Fix it by making only the symlink node responsible for putting
target_sd.
