[PATCH 3/6] perf: Fix errors path in perf_output_begin()

[John Kacur]

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx>

In case the sampling buffer has no "payload" pages,
nr_pages is 0. The problem is that the error path in
perf_output_begin() skips to a label which assumes
perf_output_lock() has been issued which is not the
case. That triggers a WARN_ON() in
perf_output_unlock().

This patch fixes the problem by skipping
perf_output_unlock() in case data->nr_pages is 0.
