commit 40d4071ce2d20840d224b4a77b5dc6f752c9ab15 upstream.

The AMD power module can be loaded on non AMD platforms, but unload fails
with the following Oops:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
 IP: __list_del_entry_valid+0x29/0x90
 Call Trace:
  perf_pmu_unregister+0x25/0xf0
  amd_power_pmu_exit+0x1c/0xd23 [power]
  SyS_delete_module+0x1a8/0x2b0
  ? exit_to_usermode_loop+0x8f/0xb0
  entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x20/0x83

Return -ENODEV instead of 0 from the module init function if the CPU does
not match.
