[PATCH] Don't spam trace report about missing fields

[PATCH] Don't spam trace report about missing fields

[Avi Kivity]

Instead of spamming the output with complaints about missing fields, simply
return an error to the caller, which can print something out or do something
more intelligent about them.

Fixes kvm plugin tracing older kernels.

Hmm, what about just passing in err=0?
