When auxiliary_device_add() returns an error, auxiliary_device_uninit()
is called, which causes refcount for device to be decremented and
.release callback will be triggered.
Because adev_release() re-calls auxiliary_device_uninit(), it will cause
use-after-free:
[ 1269.455172] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 14267 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x110/0x15
[ 1269.464007] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

PECI is an interface that may be used by different types of devices.
Add a peci-cpu driver compatible with Intel processors. The driver is
responsible for handling auxiliary devices that can subsequently be used
by other drivers (e.g. hwmons).
