Subject: [PATCH 10/10] perf tools: Fix line number in the config file error message

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...hat.com>

If we fail to parse the config file within the callback function,
the line number counter 'could be' already on the next line.

This results in wrong line number report like:

  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  [call-graph]
          sort-key = krava
  $ perf record ls
  Fatal: bad config file line 3 in /home/jolsa/.perfconfig

Fixing this by saving the current line number for this case.
