perf/core: Add return value for perf_event_read()
When we implement the ability to read several counters at once (using the PERF_PMU_TXN_READ transaction interface), perf_event_read() can fail when the 'group' parameter is true (eg: trying to read too many events at once). For now, have perf_event_read() return an integer. Ignore the return value when the 'group' parameter is false.
