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.
