Thanks for making changes here, looks better to me at least.

Can we simplify the error handling here? As I understand it
hotplug_memory_notifier() and register_mt_adistance_algorithm() aren't
expected to ever fail because hmat_init() should only be called once and
the notifier register shouldn't fail. So wouldn't the below be
effectively the same thing but clearer?

    if (hotplug_memory_notifier(hmat_callback, HMAT_CALLBACK_PRI))
        goto out_put;
       
    if (!hmat_set_default_dram_perf())
        register_mt_adistance_algorithm(&hmat_adist_nb);

    return 0;

Also as an aside while looking at this patch I noticed a minor bug:

	status = acpi_get_table(ACPI_SIG_HMAT, 0, &tbl);
	if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
		goto out_put;

This will call acpi_put_table(tbl) even though we failed to get the
table.
