Subject: [PATCH -tip] perf_counter tools: fix verbose for perf stat


Error message should use stderr for verbose otherwise message will be lost for
 $ ./perf stat -v <cmd>  > /dev/null

For example on AMD bus-cycles event is not available so now it looks like:
 $ ./perf stat -v -e bus-cycles ls > /dev/null
Error: counter 0, sys_perf_counter_open() syscall returned with -1 (Invalid argument)

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

  <not counted>  bus-cycles

    0.006765877  seconds time elapsed.
