[PATCH] x86, mcheck: Avoid duplicate sysfs links/files forthresholding banks

[Andreas Herrmann]

From: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@xxxxxxx>

kobject_add_internal failed for threshold_bank2 with -EEXIST, don't
    try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
  Pid: 1, comm: swapper Tainted: G        W  2.6.31 #1
  Call Trace:

(Probably the for_each_cpu loop should be entirely removed.)
