perf: Fix task_function_call() error handling

Browse Source 
The error handling introduced by commit:

  2ed6edd33a ("perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call()")

looses any return value from smp_call_function_single() that is not
{0, -EINVAL}. This is a problem because it will return -EXNIO when the
target CPU is offline. Worse, in that case it'll turn into an infinite
loop.

Fixes: 2ed6edd33a ("perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call()")
