Subject: [PATCH] perf data: Fix double free in perf_session__delete

When perf_data__create_dir fails, it calls close_dir, but
perf_session__delete also calls close_dir and since dir.version and
dir.nr was initialized by perf_data__create_dir, a double free occurs.
This patch moves the initialization of dir.version and dir.nr after
successful initialization of dir.files, that prevents double freeing.
This behavior is already implemented in perf_data__open_dir. The patch
also adds a missing error message in case data directory creation fails.
