perf_events: Fix invalid pointer when pid is invalid
This patch fixes an error in perf_event_open() when the pid
provided by the user is invalid. find_lively_task_by_vpid()
does not return NULL on error but an error code. Without the
fix the error code was silently passed to find_get_context()
which would eventually cause a invalid pointer dereference.
