4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a5cbdf693a60d5b86d4d21dfedd90f17754eb273 ] When acpi_install_notify_handler() fails the cooling device stays registered and the sysfs files created via acpi_pss_perf_init() are leaked and the function returns success. Undo acpi_pss_perf_init() and return a proper error code.
