Subject: [PATCH 15/16] perf tools: Allow multiple read formats

Tools find the correct evsel, and therefore read format, using the event
ID, so it isn't necessary for all read formats to be the same. In the case
of leader-sampling of AUX area events, dummy tracking events will have
a different read format, so relax the validation to become a debug message
only.
