Most of the time, you would never notice this as driver init failures are extremely rare and generally the sign of a bigger bug. However, when the mock self-tests are run, they run as part of i915_init() and exit early once they complete. They run after i915_globals_init() and before we set up anything else. The IGT test then unloads the module, invoking i915_exit() which, thanks to our i915_pci_driver.driver.owner check, doesn't actually tear anything down. Importantly, this means i915_globals_exit() never gets called even though i915_globals_init() was and we leak the globals.
The most annoying part is that you don't actually notice the failure as part of the self-tests since leaking a bit of memory, while bad, doesn't result in anything observable from userspace. Instead, the next time we load the driver (usually for next IGT test), i915_globals_init() gets invoked again, we go to allocate a bunch of new memory slabs, those implicitly create debugfs entries, and debugfs warns that we're trying to create directories and files that already exist. Since this all happens as part of the next driver load, it shows up in the dmesg-warn of whatever IGT test ran after the mock selftests.
My idea was to onion-unwind in i915_exit, but that means we need to carry state over or have checks for every step, which is a bit annoying.
Yours unwinds even if i915_init returns 0, i.e. success, if we had some selftests, which is most unusual and I think deserves an explainer here in the commit message and maybe somewhere in the code.

Setting this seems redundant? Or if you want to make it explicit, just have a dedicated bool with a big comment explaining that only when we load the full pci driver do we tear down stuff in i915_exit. You could then set after pci_register_driver was successful. Some screaming name like driver_fully_loaded or something like that ...
err = i915_globals_init(); if (err) return err; err = i915_mock_selftests();
if (err)return err > 0 ? 0 : err;

Imo move this up, but if you want I can send out my diff so you score an r-b: tag :-)

We unwind even on success, which is most unusual. I think that deserves a comment.
