After splitting the task ctx cache management from pmu private data
management, the above function will look something like this taking
care of all error path freeing as well.

static int armv8pmu_probe_pmu(struct arm_pmu *cpu_pmu)
{
        struct armv8pmu_probe_info probe = {
                .pmu = cpu_pmu,
                .present = false,
        };
        int ret;

        ret = armv8pmu_private_alloc(cpu_pmu);
        if (ret)
                return ret;

        ret = smp_call_function_any(&cpu_pmu->supported_cpus,
                                    __armv8pmu_probe_pmu,
                                    &probe, 1);
        if (ret)
                goto probe_err;

        if (!probe.present) {
                ret = -ENODEV;
                goto probe_err;
        }

        if (cpu_pmu->has_branch_stack) {
                ret = armv8pmu_task_ctx_cache_alloc(cpu_pmu);
                if (ret)
                        goto probe_err;

                ret = branch_records_alloc(cpu_pmu);
                if (ret) {
                        armv8pmu_task_ctx_cache_free(cpu_pmu);
                        goto probe_err;
                }
                return 0;
        }
        armv8pmu_private_free(cpu_pmu);
        return 0;

probe_err:
        armv8pmu_private_free(cpu_pmu);
        return ret;
}
