Subject: perf intel-pt: Fix next 'err' value, walking trace
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
commit a32e6c5da599dbf49e60622a4dfb5b9b40ece029 upstream.
Code after label 'next:' in intel_pt_walk_trace() assumes 'err' is zero,
but it may not be, if arrived at via a 'goto'. Ensure it is zero.
Fixes: 7c1b16ba0e26e6 ("perf intel-pt: Add support for decoding FUP/TIP only")
