Humm, probably this will be the only call to error() from evsel.c,
making it require the error() routine, which in turn will break the
python binding, lemme check...
If that is the case we'll have to somehow propagate to the caller of
perf_evlist__apply_filters what was the evsel that had a filter that
caused the problem.
