drivers/perf: hisi: Remove redundant dev_err()/dev_err_probe()

This commit removes redundant driver-specific error logs when calling
devm_request_irq(). The core framework automatically handles the error
reporting on failure.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this loop risk writing out of bounds
if the device tree specifies more IRQs than expected?

In hisi_l3c_pmu_init_ext(), the total number of IRQs is fetched with
platform_irq_count(pdev). The code enforces a lower bound but misses an
upper bound check:

    ext_num = platform_irq_count(pdev);
    if (ext_num < L3C_MAX_EXT)
        return -ENODEV;
    hisi_l3c_pmu->ext_num = ext_num - 1;

If a misconfigured device tree provides more IRQs than expected,
hisi_l3c_pmu->ext_num can exceed the fixed size of the ext_base and ext_irq
arrays, which are bound by L3C_MAX_EXT.

The loop iterating up to hisi_l3c_pmu->ext_num would then write out of
bounds into the ext_irq array at the end of this block.

Could we add an upper bound check for ext_num to prevent memory corruption
if too many IRQs are present?
