In mce_threshold_create_device(), if threshold_create_bank() fails, the
previously allocated threshold banks array @bp will be leaked because
the call to mce_threshold_remove_device() will not free it.
This happens because mce_threshold_remove_device() fetches the pointer
through the threshold_banks per-CPU variable but bp is written there
only after the bank creation is successful, and not before, when
threshold_create_bank() fails.
Add a helper which unwinds all the bank creation work previously done
and pass into it the previously allocated threshold banks array for
freeing.
[ bp: Massage. ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
