perf diff: Don't crash on freeing errno-session on the error path
__cmd_diff() sets result of perf_session__new() to d->session.
In case of failure, it's errno and perf-diff may crash with:
failed to open perf.data: Permission denied
Failed to open perf.data
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
From the coredump:
0 0x00005569a62b5955 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff)
at util/auxtrace.c:2681
1 0x00005569a626b37d in perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff)
at util/session.c:295
2 perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:291
3 0x00005569a618008a in __cmd_diff () at builtin-diff.c:1239
4 cmd_diff (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at builtin-diff.c:2011
[..]
Funny enough, it won't always crash. For me it crashes only if failed
file is second in cmd-line: the reason is that cmd_diff() check files for
branch-stacks [in check_file_brstack()] and if the first file doesn't
have brstacks, it doesn't proceed to try open other files from cmd-line.
Check d->session before calling perf_session__delete().
Another solution would be assigning to temporary variable, checking it,
but I find it easier to follow with IS_ERR() check in the same function.
After some time it's still obvious why the check is needed, and with
temp variable it's possible to make the same mistake.
