pref_counter: tools: report: Robustify in case of weird events

This error condition:

  aldebaran:~/linux/linux/Documentation/perf_counter> perf report
  dso__load_sym: cannot get elf header.
  failed to open: /etc/ld.so.cache
  problem processing PERF_EVENT_MMAP, bailing out

caused the profile to be very short - as the error was at the beginning
of the file and we bailed out completely.

Be more permissive and consider the event broken instead.
