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.
