[PATCH 1/1] perf top: Don't pass an ERR_PTR() directly to perf_session__delete()

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

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.

  2858		if (!session->auxtrace)
  (gdb) p session
  $1 = (struct perf_session *) 0xffffffffffffffff
  (gdb) bt

  #7  0x0000000000501b11 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at perf.c:535
  (gdb)

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