[PATCH 4.9 046/105] x86/mce/AMD: Make the init code more robust

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 0dad3a3014a0b9e72521ff44f17e0054f43dcdea ]

If mce_device_init() fails then the mce device pointer is NULL and the
AMD mce code happily dereferences it.

Add a sanity check.
