From e2d371484653ac83b970d3ebcf343383f39f8b6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ravi Bangoria Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2022 10:45:39 +0530 Subject: perf core: Return error pointer if inherit_event() fails to find pmu_ctx inherit_event() returns NULL only when it finds orphaned events otherwise it returns either valid child_event pointer or an error pointer. Follow the same when it fails to find pmu_ctx.
