Currently init_imc_pmu() can be failed either because
an IMC unit with invalid domain(i.e an IMC node not
supported by the kernel) is attempted a pmu-registration
or something went wrong while registering a valid IMC unit.
In both the cases kernel provides a 'Registration failed'
error message.
Example:
Log message, when trace-imc node is not supported by the kernel, and the
skiboot supports trace-imc node.
So for kernel, trace-imc node is now an unknown domain.

[ 1.731944] nest_powerbus0_imc performance monitor hardware support

[ 1.734670] nest_xlink2_imc performance monitor hardware support registered
[ 1.747043] Initialise system trusted keyrings
[ 1.747054] Key type blacklist registered
To avoid ambiguity on the error message, return for invalid domain
before attempting a pmu registration.
