Frederic Weisbecker c6567f642e hw-breakpoints: Improve in-kernel event creation error granularity ...

In fail case, perf_event_create_kernel_counter() returns NULL
instead of an error, which doesn't help us to inform the user
about the origin of the problem from the outer most callers.
Often we can just return -EINVAL, which doesn't help anyone when
it's eventually about a memory allocation failure.

Then, this patch makes perf_event_create_kernel_counter() always
return a detailed error code.
