x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init()grafted
The local "root" pointer is a temporary variable used during the device search. Therefore, refcount related to the search iterators should be cleaned up after the search is complete. Use the __free() cleanup macro to ensure the refcount is decremented when the temporary pointer goes out of scope. Additionally, increment the refcount when caching a root pointer. This ensures the in-use refcount is separate from the temporary search refcounting. Finally, drop the redundant "root = NULL" before the second search loop. The pci_get_class() iterator always decrements the refcount of its "from" argument, so the first loop can only fall through with "root" already NULL.

+Description:
+ (X = CPU number)
+
+ Machine checks report internal hardware error conditions
+ detected by the CPU. Uncorrected errors typically cause a
+ machine check (often with panic), corrected ones cause a
+ machine check log entry.
+
+ For more details about the x86 machine check architecture
+ see the Intel and AMD architecture manuals from their
+ developer websites.
+
+ For more details about the architecture
+ see http://one.firstfloor.org/~andi/mce.pdf
+
+ Each CPU has its own directory.

+Description:
+ (Y bank number)
+
+ 64bit Hex bitmask enabling/disabling specific subevents for
+ bank Y.
+
+ When a bit in the bitmask is zero then the respective
+ subevent will not be reported.
+
+ By default all events are enabled.
+
+ Note that BIOS maintain another mask to disable specific events
+ per bank. This is not visible here

+Date: Feb, 2007
+Description:
+ The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
+ between all CPUs.
+
+ How often to poll for corrected machine check errors, in
+ seconds (Note output is hexadecimal). Default 5 minutes.
+ When the poller finds MCEs it triggers an exponential speedup
+ (poll more often) on the polling interval. When the poller
+ stops finding MCEs, it triggers an exponential backoff
+ (poll less often) on the polling interval. The check_interval
+ variable is both the initial and maximum polling interval.
+ 0 means no polling for corrected machine check errors
+ (but some corrected errors might be still reported
+ in other ways)

+ Disables logging for corrected errors.
+ All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
