[PATCH] perf unwind: Report error from dwfl_attach_state

From: Martin Vuille
Date: Sun Feb 11 2018 - 15:58:39 EST


In verbose level 2, errors returned by libdw are reported in most cases,
but not when calling dwfl_attach_state.

Since elfutils v 0.160 (2014), dwfl_attach_state sets the error code to
report failure cause. On failure, log the reported error.
