No, this is just papering over the actual problem.
The state inconsistency happens in take_cpu_down() when it returns with a
failure from __cpu_disable() because that returns with state = TEARDOWN_CPU
and st->state is then incremented in undo_cpu_down().
That's the real issue and we need to analyze the whole cpu_down rollback
logic first.
And looking closer this is a general issue. Just that the TEARDOWN state
makes it simple to observe. It's universaly broken, when the first teardown
callback fails because, st->state is only decremented _AFTER_ the callback
returns success, but undo_cpu_down() increments unconditionally.
Patch below.
Thanks,

As per my understanding, there are 2 problems here; one is fixed with
your patch, and other is cpuhp_reset_state() is used during rollback
from non-AP to AP state, which seem to result in 2 increments of
st->state (one increment done by cpuhp_reset_state() and another by
cpu_thread_fun()) .
