[PATCH 4.4 39/56] perf: Remove superfluous allocation error check

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bfb3d7b8b906b66551424d7636182126e1d134c8 upstream.

If the get_callchain_buffers fails to allocate the buffer it will
decrease the nr_callchain_events right away.

There's no point of checking the allocation error for
nr_callchain_events > 1. Removing that check.
