AMD systems from Family 10h to 16h share MCA bank 4 across multiple CPUs.
Therefore, the threshold_bank structure for bank 4, and its threshold_block
structures, will be initialized once at boot time. And the kobject for the
shared bank will be added to each of the CPUs that share it. Furthermore,
the threshold_blocks for the shared bank will be added again to the bank's
kobject. These additions will increase the refcount for the bank's kobject.

For example, a shared bank with two blocks and shared across two CPUs will
be set up like this:

CPU0 init
  bank create and add; bank refcount = 1; threshold_create_bank()
    block 0 init and add; bank refcount = 2; allocate_threshold_blocks()
    block 1 init and add; bank refcount = 3; allocate_threshold_blocks()
CPU1 init
  bank add; bank refcount = 3; threshold_create_bank()
    block 0 add; bank refcount = 4; __threshold_add_blocks()
    block 1 add; bank refcount = 5; __threshold_add_blocks()

Currently in threshold_remove_bank(), if the bank is shared then
__threshold_remove_blocks() is called. Here the shared bank's kobject and
the bank's blocks' kobjects are deleted. This is done on the first call
even while the structures are still shared. Subsequent calls from other
CPUs that share the structures will attempt to delete the kobjects.

During kobject_del(), kobject->sd is removed. If the kobject is not part of
a kset with default_groups, then subsequent kobject_del() calls seem safe
even with kobject->sd == NULL.

Originally, the AMD MCA thresholding structures did not use default_groups.
And so the above behavior was not apparent.

However, a recent change implemented default_groups for the thresholding
structures. Therefore, kobject_del() will go down the sysfs_remove_groups()
code path. In this case, the first kobject_del() may succeed and remove
kobject->sd. But subsequent kobject_del() calls will give a WARNing in
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns() since kobject->sd == NULL.

Use kobject_put() on the shared bank's kobject when "removing" blocks. This
decrements the bank's refcount while keeping kobjects enabled until the
bank is no longer shared. At that point, kobject_put() will be called on
the blocks which drives their refcount to 0 and deletes them and also
decrementing the bank's refcount. And finally kobject_put() will be called
on the bank driving its refcount to 0 and deleting it.

With this patch and the example above:

CPU1 shutdown
  bank is shared; bank refcount = 5; threshold_remove_bank()
    block 0 put parent bank; bank refcount = 4; __threshold_remove_blocks()
    block 1 put parent bank; bank refcount = 3; __threshold_remove_blocks()
CPU0 shutdown
  bank is no longer shared; bank refcount = 3; threshold_remove_bank()
    block 0 put block; bank refcount = 2; deallocate_threshold_blocks()
    block 1 put block; bank refcount = 1; deallocate_threshold_blocks()
  put bank; bank refcount = 0; threshold_remove_bank()
