RAPL MMIO support depends on RAPL common driver, in case a new generation of CPU is booting but not in the RAPL support list, the processor_thermal driver invokes CPU hotplug API to enforce RAPL common driver adding new RAPL domain which would cause kernel crash by null pointer dereference because the internal RAPL domain resource mapping is not initialized after the common init. Add error handling to detect non initialized RAPL domain resource mapping and return error code to the caller; such that, it avoids early crash for new CPU and leave error messages through processor_thermal driver.
