perf stat: Report unsupported events properly

Commit 1971f59 (perf stat: Use read_counter in read_counter_aggr )
broke the perf stat output for unsupported counters.

 $ perf stat -v -a -C 0 -e CCI_400/config=24/ sleep 1
 Warning:
 CCI_400/config=24/ event is not supported by the kernel.

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                  0      CCI_400/config=24/

        1.080265400 seconds time elapsed

Where it used to be :

$ perf stat -v -a -C 0 -e CCI_400/config=24/ sleep 1
 Warning:
 CCI_400/config=24/ event is not supported by the kernel.

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

    <not supported>      CCI_400/config=24/

        1.083840675 seconds time elapsed

This patch fixes the issues by checking if the counter is supported,
before reading and logging the counter value.
