Commit 3718c02dbd4c ("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:

Fix this memory leak by removing default_dram_perf_ref_source.

Good catch!

We should have used that information.  So, I suggest the fix as below.
Is it OK for you?

Subject: [PATCH] memory tiers: use default_dram_perf_ref_source in log message

Commit 3718c02dbd4c ("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):

    [<ffffffff952aecd1>] ret_from_fork+0x31/0x70
    [<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.

That looks good for me. As I am not sure how this variable should be 
used, I just removed it in my patch.
