perf: Fix possible memleak in pmu_dev_alloc()
In pmu_dev_alloc(), when dev_set_name() failed, it will goto free_dev and call put_device(pmu->dev) to release it. However pmu->dev->release is assigned after this, which makes warning and memleak. Call dev_set_name() after pmu->dev->release = pmu_dev_release to fix it. Device '(null)' does not have a release() function...
