Huang Ying a530bbc538 memory tiers: use default_dram_perf_ref_source in log message
Commit 3718c02dbd ("acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT")
added a default_dram_perf_ref_source variable that was initialized but
never used.  This causes kmemleak to report the following memory leak:

unreferenced object 0xff11000225a47b60 (size 16):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294761654
  hex dump (first 16 bytes):

    [<ffffffff9520b18a>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

This reminds us that we forget to use the performance data source
information.  So, use the variable in the error log message to help
identify the root cause of inconsistent performance number.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
