Subject: perf/core: Fix error handling in perf_event_alloc()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=36cc2b9222b5106de34085c4dd8635ac67ef5cba;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

perf/core: Fix error handling in perf_event_alloc()

We don't set an error code here which means that perf_event_alloc()
returns ERR_PTR(0) (in other words NULL).  The callers are not expecting
that and would Oops.
