If a dynamic server is added with check or agent-check, its refcount is incremented after server keyword parsing. However, if add server fails at a later stage, refcount is only decremented once, which prevented the server to be fully released. This causes a leak with a server which is detached from most of the lists but still exits in the system. This bug is considered minor as only a few conditions may cause a failure in add server after check/agent-check initialization. This is the case if there is a naming collision or the dynamic ID cannot be generated. To fix this, simply decrement server refcount on add server error path if either check and/or agent-check are flagged as activated. This bug is related to github issue #2733. Thanks to Chris Staite who first found the leak. This must be backported up to 2.6.
