Subject: perf/x86: Fix leak in uncore_type_init failure paths
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~4282^2
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7b4839d93e50adccef29eccb694807cdcb8bee3;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

perf/x86: Fix leak in uncore_type_init failure paths

The error path of uncore_type_init() frees up any allocations
that were made along the way, but it relies upon type->pmus
being set, which only happens if the function succeeds. As
type->pmus remains null in this case, the call to
uncore_type_exit will do nothing.

Moving the assignment earlier will allow us to actually free
those allocations should something go awry.
