[PATCH] lib/kobject: restore old name when rename failure

[Dong Hao <haodong@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Hao Dong <haodong@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Function kobject_set_name_vargs() was implemented to rename the
existing kobject. That depends on kvasprintf(), which might return
NULL. So it's possible the kobject name becomes NULL and in that case we
would lose the old name.

The patch restores the old name when kvasprintf() returns NULL.
