3.16.47-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bb8d521f77f3e68a713456b7fb1e99f52ff3342c upstream. All paths following perf_session__process_event() in __cmd_inject() are useless if __cmd_inject() is to fail, some depend on a correct session->evlist. First commit to add code that depends on session->evlist without checking error was commmit e558a5bd8b ("perf inject: Work with files"). It has grown since then. Change __cmd_inject() to fail immediately after perf_session__process_event() fails.
