Subject: [PATCH v1 4/5] ACPI: processor: perflib: Rearrange acpi_processor_notify_smm()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Rearrange the code in acpi_processor_notify_smm() to consolidate error
handling in it and improve the comments in there while at it.

No expected functional impact.
