Kirill A. Shutemov 4cc49d4dc8 perf tools: use XSI-complaint version of strerror_r() instead of GNU-specific
Perf uses GNU-specific version of strerror_r(). The GNU-specific strerror_r()
returns a pointer to a string containing the error message.  This may be either
a pointer to a string that the function stores in buf, or a pointer to some
(immutable) static string (in which case buf is unused).

In glibc-2.16 GNU version was marked with attribute warn_unused_result.  It
triggers few warnings in perf:

util/target.c: In function ‘perf_target__strerror’:
util/target.c:114:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
ui/browsers/hists.c: In function ‘hist_browser__dump’:
ui/browsers/hists.c:981:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]

They are bugs.

Let's fix strerror_r() usage.
