Subject: [PATCH 11/11] perf record: Ensure return non-zero rc when mmap fail

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@...wei.com>

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.
