    Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86, microcode: Fix sysfs warning during module unload on unsupported CPUs

    Loading microcode driver on an unsupported CPU and subsequently
    unloading the driver causes

    WARNING: at fs/sysfs/group.c:138 mc_device_remove+0x5f/0x70 [microcode]()

    on recent kernels.

    This is due to

    commit 8a25a2fd126c621f44f3aeaef80d51f00fc11639
    (cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular
    subsystem)

    which renders

    commit 6c53cbfced048c421e4f72cb2183465f68fbc5e7
    (x86, microcode: Correct sysdev_add error path)

    useless.

    See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133416246406478

    Avoid above warning by restoring the old driver behaviour before
    commit 6c53cbfced048c421e4f72cb2183465f68fbc5e7 (x86, microcode:
    Correct sysdev_add error path)
