[ Upstream commit abaf1e0355abb050f9c11d2d13a513caec80f7ad ]
While debugging a segfault on 'perf lock contention' without an
available perf.data file I noticed that it was basically calling:
perf_session__delete(ERR_PTR(-1))
Resulting in:
(gdb) run lock contention
Starting program: /root/bin/perf lock contention
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)
Initializing perf session failed
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000005e7515 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/auxtrace.c:2858
2858 if (!session->auxtrace)
(gdb) p session
$1 = (struct perf_session *) 0xffffffffffffffff
(gdb) bt

(gdb)
So just set it to NULL after using PTR_ERR(session) to decode the error
as perf_session__delete(NULL) is supported.
