Subject: [PATCH ] perf daemon: Fix file leak in daemon_session__control

The open() function returns -1 on error.
'control' and 'ack' both initialized with open() and further
validated with 'if' statement. 'if (!control)' would evaluate
to 'true' if returned value on error were '0' but it is actually '-1'.

Fixes: edcaa47958c7 ("perf daemon: Add 'ping' command")
