[PATCH v4 5/5] perf config: Autogenerate a config file if it does not exist on setting feature.

[PATCH v4 5/5] perf config: Autogenerate a config file if it does not exist on setting feature.

[Taeung Song]

Currently the users can not create a config file
in the below case.

Before:

  $ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
  $ perf config --user report.children=false

  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory

But I think it should work no matter whether a config file exists or not.

After:

  $ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
  $ perf config --user report.children=false

  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  # this file is auto-generated.
  [report]
      children = false

NOTE:
If not free config_set after perf_config_set__init() failed,
we can do that. The config set will be freed at the tail end.
(i.e. by perf_config_set__delete() at the end of cmd_config())
