[PATCH 5.10 10/29] perf ftrace: Fix access to pid in array when setting a pid filter

[ Upstream commit 671b60cb6a897a5b3832fe57657152f2c3995e25 ]

Command 'perf ftrace -v -- ls' fails in s390 (at least 5.12.0rc6).

The root cause is a missing pointer dereference which causes an
array element address to be used as PID.

Fix this by extracting the PID.

Output before:
  # ./perf ftrace -v -- ls
  function_graph tracer is used
  write '-263732416' to tracing/set_ftrace_pid failed: Invalid argument
  failed to set ftrace pid
  #

Output after:
   ./perf ftrace -v -- ls
   function_graph tracer is used
   # tracer: function_graph
   #
   # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
   # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

   4)   6.124 us    |  }
