Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/amd/uncore: Fix memory leak for events array

When a CPU comes online, the per-CPU NB and LLC uncore contexts are
freed but not the events array within the context structure. This
causes a memory leak as identified by the kmemleak detector.

Fix the problem by freeing the events array before freeing the uncore
context.
