perf tools: Fix error handling of unknown events
There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'. The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed. Without the patch: $ perf stat -e retired_foo invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo' With the patch: $ perf stat -e retired_foo invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo' This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at all when perf was linked with libpfm4.
