ntsync: fix a file reference leak in drivers/misc/ntsync.c

struct ntsync_obj contains a reference to struct file
and that reference contributes to refcount - ntsync_alloc_obj()
grabs it.  Normally the object is destroyed (and reference
to obj->file dropped) in ntsync_obj_release().  However, in
case of ntsync_obj_get_fd() failure the object is destroyed
directly by its creator.

	That case should also drop obj->file; plain kfree(obj)
is not enough there - it ends up leaking struct file * reference.

	Take that logics into a helper (ntsync_free_obj()) and
use it in both codepaths that destroy ntsync_obj instances.
