Four sysfs show() callbacks in hv-gpci take get_cpu_var(hv_gpci_reqb)
(which calls preempt_disable()) but only call the matching put_cpu_var()
on the error path under the 'out:' label. Every successful read leaks
one preempt_disable():

   processor_bus_topology_show()
   processor_config_show()
   affinity_domain_via_virtual_processor_show()
   affinity_domain_via_domain_show()

(affinity_domain_via_partition_show() was already correct.)

On a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, repeated reads raise preempt_count and
eventually return to userspace with preemption still disabled. The
next user-mode page fault then hits faulthandler_disabled() == 1,
gets forced to SIGSEGV, and the resulting coredump trips
'BUG: scheduling while atomic' in call_usermodehelper_exec ->
wait_for_completion_state -> schedule:

   BUG: scheduling while atomic: <task>/<pid>/0x00000004
   ...
   __schedule_bug+0x6c/0x90
   __schedule+0x58c/0x13a0

Add an out_success label that calls put_cpu_var() before returning
the byte count, mirroring affinity_domain_via_partition_show().

Thanks for fixing this. This change per se, look good to me. So,

But, it would be good to move to scope based gaurds. That would
remove all the goto's and issues like this.
