commit dbd3e6eaf3d813939b28e8a66e29d81cdc836445 upstream.
The removal function is called regardless of whether
/proc/i8k was created successfully or not, the later
causing a WARN() on module removal.
Fix that by only calling the removal function
if /proc/i8k was created successfully.
Since the original patch depends on the driver
registering a platform device, the backported patch
stores the return value of proc_create() and only
calls proc_remove_entry() on exit if proc_create()
was successful.
Tested on a Inspiron 3505 for kernel 5.10.
