[PATCH 66/86] perf header: Fail on write_padded error

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Do not proceed if write_padded() error failed.

Also, add comments to remind that the return value of write_* functions
in util/header.c is an errno code and not the number of bytes written.
