perf tools: Fix multi-counter stat bug caused by incorrect reading of perf.data file header

Brice Goglin reported that only the first result from a
multi-counter perf record --stat run is accurate, the
rest looks bogus.

A silly mistake made us re-read the first attribute for
every recorded attribute.
