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