4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 78b562fbfa2cf0a9fcb23c3154756b690f4905c1 upstream. Return immediately when we find issue in the user stack checks. The error value could get overwritten by following check for PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR.
