[PATCH] perf record: Fix s390 random record__auxtrace_init return value

[PATCH] perf record: Fix s390 random record__auxtrace_init return value

[Thomas Richter]

Command perf record calls
cmd_report
+---> record__auxtrace_init
      +---> auxtrace_record__init()

On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return
value due to missing initialization.
This sometime causes perf record to exit immediately without
error message and creating a perf.data file.

Fix this by setting error return code to zero before return
from platform specific function which does not set the
error code in call cases.

perf record: Fix s390 undefined record__auxtrace_init() return value

Command 'perf record' calls:

  cmd_report()
    record__auxtrace_init()
       auxtrace_record__init()

On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return value due
to missing initialization.

This sometime causes 'perf record' to exit immediately without error
message and creating a perf.data file.

Fix this by setting error the return code to zero before returning from
platform specific functions which may not set the error code in call
cases.
