Subject: [PATCH] perf inject: Fix segfault due to close without open

The fixed commit attempts to close inject.output even if it was never opened e.g.

  $ perf record uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  $ perf inject -i perf.data --vm-time-correlation=dry-run
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  $ gdb --quiet perf
  Reading symbols from perf...
  (gdb) r inject -i perf.data --vm-time-correlation=dry-run
