Nope, if you look at previous fault injection messages...

Subject: [PATCH] driver core: Don't ignore class_dir_create_and_add() failure.

syzbot is hitting WARN() at kernfs_add_one() [1].
This is because kernfs_create_link() is confused by previous device_add()
call which continued without setting dev->kobj.parent field when
get_device_parent() failed by memory allocation fault injection.
Fix this by propagating the error from class_dir_create_and_add() to
the calllers of get_device_parent().
