virtio_fs_add_queues_sysfs() creates per-queue sysfs kobjects via kobject_create_and_add(). The current code checks the wrong variable after the allocation:
- kobject_create_and_add() may return NULL on failure. - The code incorrectly checks fs->mqs_kobj (the parent kobject), which is expected to be non-NULL at this point. - If kobject_create_and_add() fails, fsvq->kobj is NULL but the code can still call sysfs_create_group(fsvq->kobj, ...), leading to a NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic (DoS).
Fix by validating fsvq->kobj immediately after kobject_create_and_add() and aborting on failure, so sysfs_create_group() is never called with a NULL kobject.
