I changed this to:
		if (err)
			return err;

Like all other ioctl wrappers in evlist.c, i.e. usage model is the same
as with 'ioctl()': -1 indicates that it failed, if code using this
function wants to know more about the reason for the error, check errno.

Ah, we can't use 'pause' as a parameter name, that breaks the build on
Ubuntu 12.04 and other old glibc headers, I fixed that as well.
