Command 'perf record' calls:

  cmd_report()
    record__auxtrace_init()
       auxtrace_record__init()

On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return value due
to missing initialization.

This sometime causes 'perf record' to exit immediately without error
message and creating a perf.data file.

Fix this by setting error the return code to zero before returning from
platform specific functions which may not set the error code in call
cases.
