[PATCH] apm: clean up module initalization

Browse Source 
Clean up module initalization for apm.c.  I had started by auditing for
proper return code checks in misc_register, but I found that in the event
of an initalization failure, a proc file and a kernel thread were left
hanging out.  this patch properly cleans up those loose ends on any
initalization failure.
