Subject: [PATCH] [v2] perf/x86/uncore: fix a potential double-free in uncore_type_init

When kzalloc for pmus[i].boxes fails, we should clean up pmus
to prevent memleak. However, when kzalloc for attr_group fails,
pmus has been assigned to type->pmus, and freeing will be done
later on by the callers. The chain is:

uncore_pci_init
  |->uncore_types_init
  |    |->uncore_type_init (first free)
  |
  |->uncore_types_exit
       |->uncore_type_exit (second free)

Therefore, freeing pmus in uncore_type_init may cause a
double-free. Fix this by setting type->pmus to NULL after kfree.
