[PATCH v3] cpufreq: cppc: Set fie_disabled to FIE_DISABLED if fails to create kworker_fie

From: Liao Chang
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 03:50:36 EST


The function cppc_freq_invariance_init() may failed to create
kworker_fie, make it more robust by setting fie_disabled to FIE_DISBALED
to prevent an invalid pointer dereference in kthread_destroy_worker(),
which called from cppc_freq_invariance_exit().

v3:
Simplify cleanup code when invariance initialization fails.

v2:
Set fie_disabled to FIE_DISABLED when invariance initialization fails.
