Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d2c6069d68 perf dso: Set error code when open() fails on uncompressed fallback path
filename__decompress() has an early return for files that are not
actually compressed, where it calls open() directly.  When open()
fails, the function returns -1 but never sets *err.  The caller chain
(decompress_kmodule → dso__decompress_kmodule_path → dso__get_filename)
then reads *dso__load_errno(dso) to set errno, but that field was never
populated, so errno gets a stale or zero value.

With errno=0, __open_dso() computes fd = -errno = 0, which is non-
negative, so callers treat fd 0 (stdin) as a valid DSO file descriptor.

Set *err = errno when open() fails on the uncompressed path, matching
the error handling on the compressed path at line 354.
