Subject: perf/x86/intel/cstate: Prevent hotplug callback leak

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 834fcd298003c10ce450e66960c78893cb1cc4b5 upstream.

If the pmu registration fails the registered hotplug callbacks are not
removed. Wrong in any case, but fatal in case of a modular driver.

Replace the nonsensical state names with proper ones while at it.
