[PATCH][V3] ARM: pmu: fix memory leak due to early return not freeing irqs

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Recent commit 338d9dd3e2ae ("ARM: 8351/1: perf: don't warn about
missing interrupt-affinity property for PPIs") introduced a memory
leak of irqs on the "Don't bother with PPIs" return path. This issue
was picked up by static analysis by cppcheck:

[arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_cpu.c:315]: (error) Memory leak: irqs

Instead, perform allocation of irqs after getting the irq hence
removing need to clean up an allocation on the PPI affine return path.

Fixes: 338d9dd3e2ae ("ARM: 8351/1: perf: don't warn about missing interrupt-affinity property for PPIs")
