Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf cs-etm: Remove errnoeous ERR_PTR() usage in in cs_etm__process_auxtrace_info

From: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@...wei.com>

intlist__findnew() doesn't uses ERR_PTR() as a return mechanism so its callers
shouldn't try to extract the error using PTR_ERR(ret-from-intlist__findnew()),
make cs_etm__process_auxtrace_info9) return -ENOMEM instead.

Fixes: cd8bfd8c973e ("perf tools: Add processing of coresight metadata")
