perf config: Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair

So perf_config() uses:

int ret = 0;

perf_config_set__for_each_entry(config_set, section, item) {
...
ret = fn();
if (ret < 0)
break;
}

return ret;

Expecting that that break will imediatelly go to function exit to return
that error value (ret).

The problem is that perf_config_set__for_each_entry() expands into two
nested for() loops, one traversing the sections in a config and the
second the items in each of those sections, so we have to change that
'break' to a goto label right before that final 'return ret'.

With that, for instance 'perf trace' now correctly bails out when a
event that is requested to be added via its 'trace.add_events'
~/.perfconfig entry gets rejected by the kernel BPF verifier:

# perf trace ls
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o'
\___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Error: wrong config key-value pair trace.add_events=/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
#

While before it would continue and explode later, when trying to find
maps that would have been in place had that augmented_raw_syscalls.o
precompiled BPF proggie been accepted by the, humm, bast... rigorous
kernel BPF verifier 8-)
