perf_event_alloc() already does this. Except for this one doesn't cover
the negative space.

Probably not pr_err().

There really shouldn't be a warning here. I understand that the 'no
buffer' case is taped over by the !csdev check above, but there are
other ligitimate reasons for perf_aux_output_begin() to return NULL,
like no-space-left.

Is this possible after the coresight_build_path() things in setup_aux?
Might be a better candidate for WARN_*ONCE().

I'd like to understand all the potential failures here, because it's
really a good idea to keep those to a minimum for the sake of
consistency. That is, if the user succeeded in creating an event, about
the only good reason for the event not starting is a filled up buffer.
This is why it makes a lot of sense to keep all the
coresight_build_path()/coresight_enable_path() to the .event_init()
phase and let them fail early, if they should fail.
