[PATCH 6.6 458/638] perf pmu: Fix a potential memory leak in perf_pmu__lookup()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ 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")
