Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] perf/amd: NULL return of kzalloc_node should be handled

Thanks Peter for reviewing, and sorry for not think it thoroughly
before submitting.
Is that ok that when amd_uncore_cpu_up_prepare is called from
amd_uncore_cpu_notifier
I return notifier_from_errno(-ENOMEM), and  when
amd_uncore_cpu_up_prepare is called from
amd_uncore_init I immediately return  -ENODEV?
