[PATCH v2] perf test: Be more tolerant of metricgroup failures

[PATCH v2] perf test: Be more tolerant of metricgroup failures

[Ian Rogers]

Previously "set -e" meant any non-zero exit code from perf stat would
cause a test failure. As a non-zero exit happens when there aren't
sufficient permissions, check for this case and make the exit code
2/skip for it.

v2. Add skip if event mode isn't valid in per-thread mode. Suggested
    by Veronika Molnarova <vmolnaro@redhat.com>.
