Subject: [PATCH 29/46] perf record: Ensure return non-zero rc when mmap fail

perf_evlist__mmap_ex() can fail without setting errno (for example,
fail in condition checking. In this case all syscall is success).
If this happen, record__open() incorrectly returns 0. Force setting
rc is a quick way to avoid this problem, or we have to follow all
possible code path in perf_evlist__mmap_ex() to make sure there's
at least one system call before returning an error.
