e9ec7f3539 X86: intel_ips, check for kzalloc properly
Stanse found that there are two NULL checks missing in ips_monitor. So
check their value too and bail out appropriately if the allocation
failed.

While at it, add one more kfree to the fail path. It is not necessary
now, but may be needed in the future when a new allocation is added.
And for completeness.

Also remove unneeded initialization of the variables. They are all set
right after their declaration.

0385e5210c IPS driver: add GPU busy and turbo checking
Be sure to enable GPU turbo by default at load time and check GPU busy
and MCP exceeded status correctly.  Also fix up CPU power comparison and
work around buggy MCH temp reporting.

aa7ffc01d2 x86 platform driver: intelligent power sharing driver
Intel Core i3/5 platforms with integrated graphics support both CPU and
GPU turbo mode.  CPU turbo mode is opportunistic: the CPU will use any
available power to increase core frequencies if thermal headroom is
available.  The GPU side is more manual however; the graphics driver
must monitor GPU power and temperature and coordinate with a core
thermal driver to take advantage of available thermal and power headroom
in the package.

The intelligent power sharing (IPS) driver is intended to coordinate
this activity by monitoring MCP (multi-chip package) temperature and
power, allowing the CPU and/or GPU to increase their power consumption,
and thus performance, when possible.  The goal is to maximize
performance within a given platform's TDP (thermal design point).
