This should use the new topology_max_packages() function, so you can alloc
your array correctly even if not all sockets are online/plugged yet.

return -ENOMEM is sufficient here.

You really should register the notifier _AFTER_ registering the pmu. That
needs to be fixed anyway, because the existing code leaks the notifier AND
memory in case perf_pmu_register fails.
