perf pmu: Handle memory failure in tool_pmu__new()
On linux-next commit 72c6f57a4193 ("perf pmu: Dynamically allocate tool PMU") allocated PMU named "tool" dynamicly. However that allocation can fail and a NULL pointer is returned. That case is currently not handled and would result in an invalid address reference. Add a check for NULL pointer.
