[PATCH 5.10 338/406] perf top: Dont pass an ERR_PTR() directly to perf_session__delete()

[ Upstream commit ef23cb593304bde0cc046fd4cc83ae7ea2e24f16 ]

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.
0x00000000005e7515 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/auxtrace.c:2858
2858 if (!session->auxtrace)
(gdb) p session
$1 = (struct perf_session *) 0xffffffffffffffff
(gdb) bt

(gdb)

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

The same problem was found in 'perf top' after an audit of all
perf_session__new() failure handling.
