Subject: [PATCH] tools lib traceevent: Fix off-by-one bug in pevent_strerror()

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>

As pevent_errno is defined using PEVENT_ERRORS which uses _PE macro
magic, the first errno is bigger than __PEVENT_ERRNO_START by 1. So we
need to subtract the 1 also when calculating the index of the error
strings.
