Subject: [PATCH v1 2/8] perf metric: Return early if no CPU PMU table exists

Previous behavior is to segfault if there is no CPU PMU table and a
metric is sought. To reproduce compile with NO_JEVENTS=1 then request
a metric, for example, "perf stat -M IPC true".

Fixes: 00facc760903 ("perf jevents: Switch build to use jevents.py")
