powerpc/perf: Fix kfree memory allocated for nest pmus
imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is the common function for all IMC (In-memory Collection counters) domains to unregister cpuhotplug callback and free memory. Since kfree of memory allocated for nest-imc (per_nest_pmu_arr) is in the common code, all domains (core/nest/thread) can do the kfree in the failure case. This could potentially create a call trace as shown below, where core(/thread/nest) imc pmu initialization fails and in the failure path imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() free the memory(per_nest_pmu_arr), which is allocated by successfully registered nest units. The call trace is generated in a scenario where core-imc initialization is made to fail and a cpuhotplug is performed in a p9 system. During cpuhotplug ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline() tries to access per_nest_pmu_arr, which is already freed by core-imc.
