[PATCH v3] perf: arm-ni: Unregister PMUs on probe failure

When a resource allocation fails in one clock domain of an NI device,
we need to properly roll back all previously registered perf PMUs in
other clock domains of the same device.

Otherwise, it can lead to kernel panics.

but was 0000000000000000. (next=ffff10001a0decc8).
