[PATCH 02/18] perf evlist: Clarify sterror_mmap variable names

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Prep patch for doing further checks like when the number of pages that
is being attempted is actually below /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb but
the operation fails because the user doesn't have CAP_IPC_LOCK.
