[BUGFIX][PATCH v5 1/9] perf config: Let perf_config() return in case of failure

From: Taeung Song
Date: Tue May 31 2016 - 13:27:06 EST


If a config file has wrong key-value pairs,
perf will be forcibly terminated by die() at perf_parse_file()
so terminal setting can be crushed because of abnormal termination.

For example,

If user config file has a wrong value 'red;default'
instead of a normal value like 'red, default' for a key 'colors.top',

# cat ~/.perfconfig
[colors]
medium = red;default # wrong value

and if running sub-command 'top'.

# perf top

perf process is terminated by force and terminal setting is broken
with a messge like below.

Fatal: bad config file line 2 in /root/.perfconfig

So fix it.
If perf_config() can return on failure without calling die()
at perf_parse_file(), this problem is solved.
