[PATCH] perf, tools: Make build fail on JSON parse error

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Today, when a JSON file fails parsing the build continues,
but there are no json files built in, which is difficult to debug later.
Make the build stop on a parse error instead.

v2: Add fixes from Sukadev. Now we handle architectures
with no JSON events correctly. And fix some stale comments.
