patch 9.0.1092: search error message doesn't show used pattern

Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/e86190e7c1297da29d0fc2415fdeca5ecae8d2ba

    patch 9.0.1092: search error message doesn't show used pattern

    Problem:    Search error message doesn't show used pattern.
    Solution:   Pass the actually used pattern to where the error message is
                given. (Rob Pilling, closes #11742)
