When allocations fails that can be NULL now.
If the name provided is NULL, then the initialization process of the PMU
type and dev will be skipped in function perf_pmu_register().
Consequently, the PMU will not be able to register into the kernel.
Moreover, in the case of unregister the PMU, the function device_del()
will need to handle NULL pointers, which potentially can cause issues.
So move this allocation above the cpuhp_state_add_instance() and directly
return if it does fail.
