This partial rollback is crap. Why can't you utilize cqm_cleanup() ?
Performance certainly is not an issue here.

This is still broken. If intel_cqm_setup_rmid_cache() fails, you clear
cqm_rmid_ptrs and then jump to out. ret is -ENOMEM, so you will call
cqm_cleanup which will dereference cqm_rmid_ptrs .....

Find below a delta patch, which fixes that proper and safe.
