perf diff: Don't crash on freeing errno-session on the error path
__cmd_diff() sets result of perf_session__new() to d->session. In case of failure, it's errno and perf-diff may crash with: failed to open perf.data: Permission denied Failed to open perf.data Segmentation fault (core dumped) From the coredump: 0 0x00005569a62b5955 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/auxtrace.c:2681 1 0x00005569a626b37d in perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:295 2 perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:291 3 0x00005569a618008a in __cmd_diff () at builtin-diff.c:1239 4 cmd_diff (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at builtin-diff.c:2011 [..] Funny enough, it won't always crash. For me it crashes only if failed file is second in cmd-line: the reason is that cmd_diff() check files for branch-stacks [in check_file_brstack()] and if the first file doesn't have brstacks, it doesn't proceed to try open other files from cmd-line. Check d->session before calling perf_session__delete(). Another solution would be assigning to temporary variable, checking it, but I find it easier to follow with IS_ERR() check in the same function. After some time it's still obvious why the check is needed, and with temp variable it's possible to make the same mistake.
