Subject: [PATCH 5.4 052/135] x86/mce/amd: Publish the bank pointer only after setup has succeeded

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

commit 6e5cf31fbe651bed7ba1df768f2e123531132417 upstream.

threshold_create_bank() creates a bank descriptor per MCA error
thresholding counter which can be controlled over sysfs. It publishes
the pointer to that bank in a per-CPU variable and then goes on to
create additional thresholding blocks if the bank has such.

However, that creation of additional blocks in
allocate_threshold_blocks() can fail, leading to a use-after-free
through the per-CPU pointer.

Therefore, publish that pointer only after all blocks have been setup
successfully.

Fixes: 019f34fccfd5 ("x86, MCE, AMD: Move shared bank to node descriptor")
