Two fixes for the AMD MCE driver:

  - Populate the per CPU MCA bank descriptor pointer only after it has been
    completely set up to prevent a use-after-free in case that one of the
    subsequent initialization step fails

  - Implement a proper release function for the sysfs entries of MCA
    threshold controls instead of freeing the memory right in the CPU
    teardown code, which leads to another use-after-free when the
    associated sysfs file is opened and accessed.
x86/mce/amd: Fix kobject lifetime

Accessing the MCA thresholding controls in sysfs concurrently with CPU
hotplug can lead to a couple of KASAN-reported issues:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sysfs_file_ops+0x155/0x180
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888367578940 by task grep/4019

and

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in show_error_count+0x15c/0x180
  Read of size 2 at addr ffff888368a05514 by task grep/4454

for example. Both result from the fact that the threshold block
creation/teardown code frees the descriptor memory itself instead of
defining proper ->release function and leaving it to the driver core to
take care of that, after all sysfs accesses have completed.

Do that and get rid of the custom freeing code, fixing the above UAFs in
the process.
