perf/x86/intel: Plug memory leak in intel_pmu_init()
A recent commit introduced an extra merge_attr() call in the skylake branch, which causes a memory leak. Store the pointer to the extra allocated memory and free it at the end of the function. Fixes: a5df70c354c2 ("perf/x86: Only show format attributes when supported") Reported-by: Tommi Rantala <tommi.t.rantala@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
