perf top: Do not bail out when perf_env__read_cpuid() returns ENOSYS

'perf top' stopped working on hw architectures that do not provide a
get_cpuid() implementation and thus fallback to the weak get_cpuid()
default function.

This is done because at annotation time we may need it in the arch
specific annotation init routine, but that is only being used by arches
that do provide a get_cpuid() implementation:

  $ find tools/  -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evlist->env'
  tools/perf/builtin-top.c:	top.evlist->env = &perf_env;
  tools/perf/util/evsel.c:		return evsel->evlist->env;
  tools/perf/util/s390-cpumsf.c:	sf->machine_type = s390_cpumsf_get_type(session->evlist->env->cpuid);
  tools/perf/util/header.c:	session->evlist->env = &header->env;
  tools/perf/util/sample-raw.c:	const char *arch_pf = perf_env__arch(evlist->env);
  $

  $ find tools/perf/arch  -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep -w get_cpuid
  tools/perf/arch/x86/util/auxtrace.c:	ret = get_cpuid(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
  tools/perf/arch/x86/util/header.c:get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
  tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/header.c:get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
  tools/perf/arch/s390/util/header.c: * Implementation of get_cpuid().
  tools/perf/arch/s390/util/header.c:int get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
  tools/perf/arch/s390/util/header.c:	if (buf && get_cpuid(buf, 128))
  $

For 'report' or 'script', i.e. tools working on perf.data files, that is
setup while reading the header, its just top that needs to explicitely
read it at tool start.
