4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Olsa jolsa@kernel.org
commit bfb3d7b8b906b66551424d7636182126e1d134c8 upstream.
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.
