While some of the stuff is cleaned up by devm, the error handling in
this code looks pretty fragile as it leaves initialized contexts,
hardware state, chained handlers etc. around.

The question is whether the system can actually boot or work at all if
any of this fails.

I don't think that removing the setup protection is correct.

Assume you have maxcpus=N on the kernel command line, then the above
for_each_online_cpu() loop would result in cpuhp_setup == true when the
instances for the not onlined CPUs are set up, no?
