Subject: [PATCH]  NULL pointer might be used in ips_monitor()

From: minskey guo <chaohong_guo@...ux.intel.com>

 The patch is to enable creating ips_adjust thread before ips_monitor
 executes because the latter will kthread_stop() or wake up the former
 via ips->adjust pointer. Otherwise, it is possible that ips->adjust is
 NULL when kthread_stop() or wake_up_process() is called in ips_monitor()

 Besides, some trival changes:
   a) correct an define of register bits;
   b) old_cpu_power sample should not be divided by 65535
   c) handling on error path in ips_get_i915_syms()
