Try to avoid these "while at it" to combine multiple patches into one
:-)

I'll try to do it for you this time as it fixes a real problem, thanks
for fixing it!

Try to be consistent here, if when allocating memory you return minus
ernno code, try to use that error reporting convention here as well.

Otherwise if perf_evsel__init_syscall_tp checks the error it will try to
figure out why it is returning -EPERM (-1) when
perf_evsel__init_sc_tp_uint_field fails :)

I think the right error to return here is -ENOENT, i.e. the field was
not found in this tracepoint.
