perf core: Return error pointer if inherit_event() fails to find pmu_ctx
inherit_event() returns NULL only when it finds orphaned events
otherwise it returns either valid child_event pointer or an error
pointer. Follow the same when it fails to find pmu_ctx.
Fixes: bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")
