Subject: [PATCH 07/20] perf data: Fail check_backup in case of error

And display the error message from removing
the old data file:

  $ perf record ls
  Can't remove old data: Permission denied (perf.data.old)
  Perf session creation failed.

  $ perf record ls
  Can't remove old data: Unknown file found (perf.data.old)
  Perf session creation failed.

Not sure how to make fail the rename (after we successfully
remove the destination file/dir) to show the message,
anyway let's have it there.
