Subject: [PATCH 06/11] perf tools: Fix event ID retrieval for group format read case

From: "jolsa@...hat.com" <jolsa@...hat.com>

We need to fail the event ID retrieval in case both following
conditions are true:
  - we are on kernel with no PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID support
  - PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format is set

The PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format bit is the killer for
retrieving event ID out of the read syscall, because we
have no guarantee of the event placement within leader
kernel sibling list.
