Subject: CVE-2022-49010: hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs

If coretemp_add_core() gets an error then pdata->core_data[indx]
is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to
sysfs_remove_group() as that will crash in sysfs_remove_group().

[Shortened for readability]

Fix this by checking for NULL first.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
