[PATCH] drivers/perf: arm_pmu: make info messages more verbose

On a big.LITTLE system e.g. with Cortex A57 and A53 in case not all cores
are online at PMU probe time we might get

hw perfevents: failed to probe PMU!
hw perfevents: failed to register PMU devices!

making it unclear which cores failed, here.

Add the name of the PMU which failed resulting in a more verbose and
helpful message

hw perfevents: armv8_cortex_a53: failed to probe PMU!
hw perfevents: armv8_cortex_a53: failed to register PMU devices!
