powercap: intel_rapl: Fix kernel panic during PMU unbind

rapl_package_add_pmu() fails internally at perf_pmu_register(),
and rapl_pmu_update() leaves the global rapl_pmu.pmu structure
zero-initialized via memset and returns an error. But any
previously probed packages retain has_pmu = true.

When the driver is subsequently unbound or removed,
rapl_package_remove_pmu_locked() sees has_pmu == true and
unconditionally calls perf_pmu_unregister(&rapl_pmu.pmu) on the
zeroed-out structure. This attempts a list_del_rcu() on a NULL
list head, immediately causing a kernel panic.

Fix this by checking if the PMU is actually registered before
attempting to unregister it.
