perf/x86/intel: Unwind cpuc state if PEBS buffer setup fails

intel_pmu_cpu_prepare() allocates per-CPU perf state first and then sets
up the arch PEBS buffer. If alloc_arch_pebs_buf_on_cpu() fails,
the previously allocated cpuc resources are left behind.

Make the failure path call intel_cpuc_finish(cpuc) to release the per-CPU
state allocated by intel_cpuc_prepare().
