armv8pmu_private_alloc() allocates arm_pmu's private structure which stores
the BRBE HW attributes during armv8pmu_branch_probe(), called from this SMP
callback __armv8pmu_probe_pmu(). Hence without the structure being allocated
and assigned, following smp_call_function_any() cannot execute successfully.
armv8pmu_private_alloc()
{
......
Allocates arm_pmu->private as single 'struct brbe_hw_attr'
Allocates arm_pmu->pmu.task_ctx_cache
......
}
__armv8pmu_probe_pmu()
armv8pmu_branch_probe()
brbe_attributes_probe()
{
......
brbe_attr->brbe_version = brbe;
brbe_attr->brbe_format = brbe_get_format(brbidr);
brbe_attr->brbe_cc = brbe_get_cc_bits(brbidr);
brbe_attr->brbe_nr = brbe_get_numrec(brbidr);
......
}
armv8pmu_private_alloc() cannot be moved inside armv8pmu_branch_probe(),
because there cannot be any allocation while being in a SMP call context.

Not freeing the arm_pmu's private data, might not be a problem in cases
where either pmu does not support BRBE or pmu probe itself fails. But for
completeness, will change as following.
