[PATCH] x86: mce: Potential memory leaks when initializing mcheck devices

[Johan Wessfeldt]

This patch makes sure cleanup is done properly when mcheck fails
initializing any of its resources.

Note!
It should be safe to call mce_remove_device on ANY of the cpus as
mce_remove_device checks if corresponding cpu was initialized
before removing its resources.

Please review.
