Static analysis reports that the error unwinding path in monitor_event() overwrites 'rc' with the return from cxl_event_tracing_disable(). This masks the actual error code from either epoll_wait() or cxl_parse_events() which is the one that should be propagated.
Print a spot error in case there's an error while disabling tracing, but otherwise retain the rc from the main body of the function.
