You should mention against which tree your patch is supposed to be
applied, in this case a fix was made in december:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ git show 8d00be815c05ed0f0202f606bab4e54f98fd3b30

    perf tools: Fix inverted error verification bug in thread__fork
    
    Commit 1902efe7f for the new comm infra added the wrong check for return
    code on thread__set_comm. err == 0 is normal, so don't return at that
    point unless err != 0.
