[PATCH 5.15 064/120] hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs

[ Upstream commit a89ff5f5cc64b9fe7a992cf56988fd36f56ca82a ]

If coretemp_add_core() gets an error then pdata->core_data[indx]
is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to
sysfs_remove_group() as that will crash in sysfs_remove_group().

[Shortened for readability]

Fix this by checking for NULL first.
