perf pmu: Handle memory failure in tool_pmu__new()
[ Upstream commit 431db90a7303cb394c5a881b4479946f64052727 ]
On linux-next
commit 72c6f57a4193 ("perf pmu: Dynamically allocate tool PMU")
allocated PMU named "tool" dynamicly. However that allocation
can fail and a NULL pointer is returned. That case is currently
not handled and would result in an invalid address reference.
Add a check for NULL pointer.
