powerpc/perf: Fix IMC initialization crash

While registering nest imc at init, cpu-hotplug callback
nest_pmu_cpumask_init() makes an OPAL call to stop the engine. And if
the OPAL call fails, imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is invoked to cleanup
memory and cpuhotplug setup.
But when cleaning up the attribute group, we are dereferencing the
attribute element array without checking whether the backing element
is not NULL. This causes the kernel panic.
Add a check for the backing element prior to dereferencing the
attribute element, to handle the failing case gracefully.
