[PATCH -tip ] [BUGFIX]: Fix to add a missing pair of braces for error path.

Fix to add a missing pair of braces for error path.
Commit 36d789a4d75f (perf probe: Improve error message for
unknown member of data structure) introduced this bug.

Without this fix, defining an event with global variables
is always failed, because it always returns -ENOENT if
the argument is not a local variable.

----
# perf probe -na "vfs_read smp_found_config"
Error: Failed to add events.
----

With this fix, you can set a global variable for the
argument of new event.

----
# perf probe -na "vfs_read smp_found_config"
Added new event:
probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read with smp_found_config)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:vfs_read -aR sleep 1
