In mce_threshold_create_device(), if threshold_create_bank() fails, the @bp will be leaked, because mce_threshold_remove_device() will not free the @bp. It only frees the @bp when we've already written the @bp to the @threshold_banks per-CPU variable, but at the point, we haven't.
Fix this by extracting the cleanup part into a new static function _mce_threshold_remove_device(), then use it from create/remove device function. Also, eliminate the "goto out_err". Just early return inside the loop if we fail.
The commit message should use passive voice: no "I" or "we".
Otherwise, I think the patch looks good.
Thanks, Yazen
