[ Upstream commit 697d877849d4b34ab58d7078d6930bad0ef6fc66 ]
Commit:
313ccb9615948 ("perf: Allocate context task_ctx_data for child event")
makes the inherit path skip over the current event in case of task_ctx_data allocation failure. This, however, is inconsistent with allocation failures in perf_event_alloc(), which would abort the fork.
Correct this by returning an error code on task_ctx_data allocation failure and failing the fork in that case.
