[PATCH] perf jevents: Raise exception for no definition of a arch std event

From: John Garry
Date: Mon Aug 07 2023 - 09:44:17 EST


Recently Ilkka reported that the JSONs for the AmpereOne arm64-based
platform included a dud event which referenced a non-existent arch std
event [0].

Previously in the times of jevents.c, we would raise an exception for this.

This is still invalid, even though the current code just ignores such an
event.

Re-introduce code to raise an exception for when no definition exists to
help catch as many invalid JSONs as possible.
