[PATCH 08/17] perf: Remove superfluous allocation error check

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Apr 20 2018 - 10:33:28 EST


From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the get_callchain_buffers fails to allocate the buffer it will
decrease the nr_callchain_events right away.

There's no point of checking the allocation error for
nr_callchain_events > 1. Removing that check.
