[PATCH] perf record: Fix s390 random record__auxtrace_init return value

From: Thomas Richter
Date: Mon Apr 23 2018 - 10:29:59 EST


Command perf record calls
cmd_report
+---> record__auxtrace_init
+---> auxtrace_record__init()

On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return
value due to missing initialization.
This sometime causes perf record to exit immediately without
error message and creating a perf.data file.

Fix this by setting error return code to zero before return
from platform specific function which does not set the
error code in call cases.
