[PATCH 1/4] libperf evsel: Open shouldn't leak fd on failure

[Ian Rogers]

If the perf_event_open fails the fd is opened but the fd is only freed
by closing (not by delete). Typically when an open fails you don't call
close and so this results in a memory leak. To avoid this, add a close
when open fails.
