perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".
The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.
This patch changes the code to be more informative:
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers
And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.
