Subject[PATCH 4.9 11/36] perf: Remove superfluous allocation error check
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

commit bfb3d7b8b906b66551424d7636182126e1d134c8 upstream.

If the get_callchain_buffers fails to allocate the buffer it will
decrease the nr_callchain_events right away.

There's no point of checking the allocation error for
nr_callchain_events > 1. Removing that check.
