Subject: arm64: perf: fix unassigned cpu_pmu->plat_device when probing PMU PPIs

From: Shannon Zhao <[email protected]>

commit b265da5a45ce60bd3d7505cc0eaa6cfba50946a1 upstream.

Commit d795ef9aa831 ("arm64: perf: don't warn about missing interrupt-affinity property for PPIs") added a check for PPIs so that we avoid parsing the interrupt-affinity property for these naturally affine interrupts.

Unfortunately, this check can trigger an early (successful) return and we will not assign the value of cpu_pmu->plat_device. This patch fixes the issue.
