4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> 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.
