Please do not top-post.

We could use Thomas' too although from looking at it,
detect_cache_attributes() allocates a per-CPU per_cpu_cacheinfo thing
for each CPU. By the time we hit cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() in
free_cache_attributes(), those per_cpu_cacheinfo(cpu) things are still
allocated. We kfree them in the next step only.

But I like the moving of the check from the CPU hotplug callback to
free_cache_attributes().

So I'll merge the two patches and write up a proper commit message,
unless someone objects.

I'll add your Tested-by too.

Thanks.
