perf: Fix errors path in perf_output_begin()
In case the sampling buffer has no "payload" pages, nr_pages is 0. The problem is that the error path in perf_output_begin() skips to a label which assumes perf_output_lock() has been issued which is not the case. That triggers a WARN_ON() in perf_output_unlock(). This patch fixes the problem by skipping perf_output_unlock() in case data->nr_pages is 0.
