3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 0dad3a3014a0b9e72521ff44f17e0054f43dcdea ] If mce_device_init() fails then the mce device pointer is NULL and the AMD mce code happily dereferences it. Add a sanity check.
