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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
