Subject: perf: Don't call release_callchain_buffers() if allocation fails
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd45c15f13e754f3c106427e857310f3e0813951;p=linux-beck.git

perf: Don't call release_callchain_buffers() if allocation fails

When alloc_callchain_buffers() fails, it frees all of
entries before return. In addition, calling the
release_callchain_buffers() will cause a NULL pointer
dereference since callchain_cpu_entries is not set.
