While originally this was a patch to fix the two memory leaks (which
got preempted by the two commits that went in the day before I wanted
to submit this fix), I think this can (and should) be done more
efficiently:
- swapping the order of the two allocations and storing the
  msi_dev_attr-derived pointer right after allocation, allowing the
  cleanup code to pick things up without extra effort
- using kasprintf() instead of the kmalloc()/sprintf() pair

Applied (with Greg's ack) to my pending/msi branch, which will be rebased
and renamed after v3.15-rc1.  Thanks!
