nvdimm: Fix dereference after free in register_nvdimm_pmu()
[ Upstream commit 08ca6906a4b7e48f8e93b7c1f49a742a415be6d5 ]
'nd_pmu->pmu.attr_groups' is dereferenced in function
'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory' call after it has been freed. Because in
function 'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory' memory pointed by the fields of
'nd_pmu->pmu.attr_groups' is deallocated it is necessary to call 'kfree'
after 'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory'.
