[PATCH 7/7] perf config: No free config set when it's initialization failed

From: Taeung Song
Date: Wed Apr 26 2017 - 08:23:54 EST


Currently if perf_config_set__init() failed in perf_config_set__new(),
config_set will be freed.

However, if we do, config setting feature can't work sometimes
when user or system config files are nonexistent.
So let the config set be empty, not freed totally.
(it'll be freed at the tail end)

Before:

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory

$ perf config --user report.children=false
Nothing configured, please check your /root/.perfconfig

After:

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory

$ perf config --user report.children=false

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
# this file is auto-generated.
[report]
children = false
