powerpc/perf: Fix kfree memory allocated for nest pmus
imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is the common function for all
IMC (In-memory Collection counters) domains to unregister cpuhotplug
callback and free memory. Since kfree of memory allocated for
nest-imc (per_nest_pmu_arr) is in the common code, all
domains (core/nest/thread) can do the kfree in the failure case.
This could potentially create a call trace as shown below, where
core(/thread/nest) imc pmu initialization fails and in the failure
path imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() free the memory(per_nest_pmu_arr),
which is allocated by successfully registered nest units.
The call trace is generated in a scenario where core-imc
initialization is made to fail and a cpuhotplug is performed in a p9
system. During cpuhotplug ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline() tries to access
per_nest_pmu_arr, which is already freed by core-imc.

To address this scenario do the kfree(per_nest_pmu_arr) only in case
of nest-imc initialization failure, and when there is no other nest
units registered.
