From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit ef5de1613d7d92bdc975e6beb34bb0fa94f34078 ]

The commit in Fixes has reordered some code, but missed an error handling
path.

'goto err' now, in order to avoid a memory leak in case of error.

Fixes: f63a536f03a2 ("perf pmu: Merge JSON events with sysfs at load time")
