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.

Doesn't sysfs + normally contain a single value per file? + +A. + By having a single file, the kernel can guarantee that the statistics + represent a consistent snapshot of the state of the device. If the + statistics were exported as multiple files containing one statistic + each, it would be impossible to guarantee that a set of readings + represent a single point in time. + +The stat file consists of a single line of text containing 17 decimal +values separated by whitespace.
