Subject: [PATCH 4.9 103/120] ACPI / CPPC: set an error code on probe error path

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 501634759d55a5b56967de6d9465acf02bbc3565 upstream.

We should return -EINVAL (instead of 0) if get_cpu_device() fails.

Fixes: 158c998ea44b (ACPI / CPPC: add sysfs support to compute delivered performance)
