[PATCH] perf test: Add skip to --per-thread test

[Ian Rogers]

As reported in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20220428122821.3652015-1-tmricht@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
the 'instructions:u' event may not be supported. Add a skip using 'perf
stat'.

Switch some code away from pipe to make the failures clearer.
