Subject: perf core: Return error pointer if inherit_event() fails to find pmu_ctx
X-Git-Tag: v6.6.7~3802^2~4

perf core: Return error pointer if inherit_event() fails to find pmu_ctx

inherit_event() returns NULL only when it finds orphaned events
otherwise it returns either valid child_event pointer or an error
pointer. Follow the same when it fails to find pmu_ctx.
