Hi,

There is memleak in nvme_ctrl_dhchap_secret_store(), 
nvme_ctrl_dhchap_ctrl_secret_store(), and nvme_init_ctrl().

Fix dhchap memleaks by adding right kfree() :-

Fix dev_pm_qos related memleak in nvme_init_ctrl() with adding 
dev_pm_qos_hide_latency_tolerance() in the error unwind code :-

When blktests are running multiple times we get following messages
consistently :-

[  147.853464] debugfs: Directory 'nvme1' with parent '/' already present!
[  147.853973] nvme1: failed to create debugfs attr
[  148.802490] debugfs: Directory 'nvme1' with parent '/' already present!
[  148.803244] nvme1: failed to create debugfs attr

[  149.816652] debugfs: Directory 'nvme1' with parent '/' already present!
[  149.818011] nvme1: failed to create debugfs attr

Fix those by adding nvme_fault inject_fini() call in the error unwind
code path.

Still trying to find out device_add() memleak, will send patch soon.

v2:-

1. In first two patches add kfree() call after strcmp() if block.
2. Add a patch to fix the nvme_ctrl_init() dev_pm_qos memleak.
3. Add a patch to fix the debugfs directory error message.
4. Add tested by tag on patch 1.
