x86/mce: Don't remove sysfs if thresholding sysfs init fails



commit 4c113a5b upstream.

Currently, the MCE subsystem sysfs interface will be removed if the
thresholding sysfs interface fails to be created. A common failure is due to
new MCA bank types that are not recognized and don't have a short name set.

The MCA thresholding feature is optional and should not break the common MCE
sysfs interface. Also, new MCA bank types are occasionally introduced, and
updates will be needed to recognize them. But likewise, this should not break
the common sysfs interface.

Keep the MCE sysfs interface regardless of the status of the thresholding
sysfs interface.
