[PATCH v1] perf stat: Exit perf stat if parse groups fails

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Dec 06 2023 - 13:35:41 EST


Metrics were added by a callback but commit a4b8cfcabb1d ("perf stat:
Delay metric parsing") postponed this to allow optimizations based on
the CPU configuration. In doing so it stopped errors in metric parsing
from causing perf stat termination. This change adds the termination
for bad metric names back in.
