perf evsel: Propagate error info from tp_format

Propagate error info from tp_format via ERR_PTR to get it all the way
down to the parse-event.c tracepoint adding routines. Following
functions now return pointer with encoded error:

  - tp_format
  - trace_event__tp_format
  - perf_evsel__newtp_idx
  - perf_evsel__newtp

This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use pointer check
anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface, when getting error
information from above functions list.
