Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix error paths in microcode_init()

After failure of platform_device_register_simple(), microcode_dev_exit()
got called without the call to microcode_dev_init() already having taken
place.

After failure of microcode_dev_init(), no cleanup of previously carried
out setup was done at all.

As a result, microcode_dev_exit() can now get __exit tagged on it.

(Noticed while looking at the code, not because of having experienced
an actual problem.)
