[lvc-project] [PATCH] perf/x86/uncore: avoid null-ptr-deref on error in pmu_alloc_topology

If topology[die] array allocation fails then topology[die][idx] elements
can't be accessed on error path.

Checking this on the error path probably looks more readable than
decrementing the counter in the allocation loop.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
