[PATCH] x86/perf/amd_uncore: Plug reference leak

[Thomas Gleixner]

Subject: x86/perf/amd_uncore: Plug reference leak
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2016 09:38:31 +0100

In the error path of amd_uncore_cpu_up_prepare() the newly allocated uncore
struct is freed, but the percpu pointer still references it. Set it to NULL.
