---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---
It is because previous patch added kobject_put() to release the memory
which will call dmi_sysfs_entry_release() and list_del().
However, list_add_tail(entry->list) is called after the error block,
so the list_head is uninitialized and cannot be deleted.
Move error handling to after list_add_tail to fix this.
