perf record: Improve error message of -p not_existing_pid
When one uses -p $not_existing_pid, the output of --help is printed:
$ perf record -p 123456789 2>&1 | head -n3
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
Let's change it something similar what perf top -p $not_existing_pid
prints:
$ ./perf top -p 123456789 --stdio
Error:
Couldn't create thread/CPU maps: No such process
Newly suggested error message:
$ ./perf record -p 123456789
Couldn't create thread/CPU maps: No such process
