Yes this is a bit lazy, but the first thing free_percpu() checks if the
pointer is NULL and simply returns.

If you look at the current code in __gic_init_bases(), if one of the two
fail, we still try to free both. I did not like this, but when I looked
at it, I could see that is does work. Happy to change it though.

Cheers
Jon
