Subject: [PATCH] memory tier: Remove unused default_dram_perf_ref_source

Commit 3718c02dbd4c ("acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT")
added a default_dram_perf_ref_source variable that was initialized but
never used. This causes kmemleak to report the following memory leak:

unreferenced object 0xff11000225a47b60 (size 16):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294761654

Fix this memory leak by removing default_dram_perf_ref_source.
