Subject: [PATCH] perf/arm-cmn: Fail DTC counter allocation correctly

Calling arm_cmn_event_clear() before all DTC indices are allocated is
wrong, and can lead to arm_cmn_event_add() erroneously clearing live
counters from full DTCs where allocation fails. Since the DTC counters
are only updated by arm_cmn_init_counter() after all DTC and DTM
allocations succeed, nothing actually needs cleaning up in this case
anyway, and it should just return directly as it did before.

That's a good catch.
