__evtchn_fifo_handle_events() does not releases resources, it processes
any pending events for this CPU.

This patch would only be necessary if a CPU in CPU_UP_CANCELED state may
have had unmasked interrupts.  If so you would need:


case CPU_UP_CANCELED:
          if (per_cpu(cpu_control_block, cpu))
              __evtchn_fifo_handle_events(cpu, true);
          break;

To handle the case where the control block allocation or initialization
failed during CPU_UP_PREPARE.
