Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] x86/mce/amd: Fix memory leak when `threshold_create_bank()` fails

@bp is a local variable, calling mce_threshold_remove_device() when
threshold_create_bank() fails will not free the @bp. Note that
mce_threshold_remove_device() frees the @bp only if it's already
stored in the @threshold_banks per-CPU variable.

At that point, the @threshold_banks per-CPU variable is still NULL,
so the mce_threshold_remove_device() will just be a no-op and the
@bp is leaked.

Fix this by calling kfree() and early returning when we fail.

This bug is introduced by commit 6458de97fc15530b544 ("x86/mce/amd:
Straighten CPU hotplug path") [1].
