This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().
The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a
problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small

This series of patches fixes the error handling for cpu hotplug.
The problem is revealed by CPU hotplug/unplug test with fault-injection.
The patch 1-3 are sysfs or driver core related error handling fixes.
These are not directly related to cpu hotplug. But these are needed to
pass the stress test
This patch fixes out of memory error handling in sysfs_new_dirent().
kmem_cache_free() with NULL is not allowed.
