[087/262] perf probe: Fix to show correct error string

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 44a56040a0037a845d5fa218dffde464579f0cab upstream.

Fix perf probe to show correct error string when it
fails to delete an event. The write(2) returns -1
if failed, and errno stores real error number.
