While reviewing the driver code with AI models, identified a few corner
cases during the device probe and removal paths where error handling and
resource cleanup were insufficient or improperly ordered.

When uncore_probe() fails, remove_cluster_entries() removes the entries of
all clusters of every mapped power domain. But not all of them are added:
- When the allocation of cluster_infos fails, cluster_count is already
set. So remove_cluster_entries() dereferences the NULL cluster_infos.
- When uncore_freq_add_entry() fails for a cluster, this cluster and all
later clusters were not added. uncore_freq_remove_die_entry() still
removes their attribute group, which doesn't exist. As domain_id of
these clusters is not UNCORE_DOMAIN_ID_INVALID, it also frees their
seqnum_id with ida_free(). The seqnum_id is 0 from allocation, which
can be in use by an entry of another device.
Skip removing an entry in uncore_freq_remove_die_entry(), when it is not
valid, which means that it was not added or is already removed. Also
skip power domains without cluster_infos in remove_cluster_entries().

uncore_freq_remove_die_entry() holds uncore_lock while removing the
attribute group of an entry. Removing attributes waits for active sysfs
callbacks of these attributes to finish. But the show and store callbacks
take uncore_lock, which results in an ABBA deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
kernfs_fop_read_iter()
show_attr() uncore_freq_remove_die_entry()
mutex_lock(&uncore_lock)
mutex_lock(&uncore_lock) delete_attr_group()
sysfs_remove_group()
waits for CPU0
Mark the entry as not valid with an invalid control CPU under
uncore_lock, and remove the attribute group after releasing it. Free
the seqnum_id after the attribute group is removed, so that the name
can't be used by a new entry while the old attributes still exist.
Adding and removing the same entry is serialized by the callers: CPU
hotplug callbacks in the MSR based driver, and device probe and remove
in the TPMI driver. Callbacks running before the attributes are removed
are safe: the MSR based driver returns -ENXIO for an invalid control CPU,
and the TPMI driver MMIO is unmapped only after the device is removed.
