[PATCH] perf: qcom_l2_pmu: Make l2_cache_pmu_probe_cluster() more robust

If an error occurs after calling list_add(), the &l2cache_pmu->clusters
list will reference some memory that will be freed when the managed
resources will be released.

Move the list_add() at the end of the function when everything is in fine.

This is harmless because if l2_cache_pmu_probe_cluster() fails, then
l2_cache_pmu_probe() will fail as well and 'l2cache_pmu' will be released
as well.
But it looks cleaner and could silence static checker warning.

This is not a fix, because there is no issue.
But in case of interest:
