perf pmu: Improve error messages for missing PMUs
When a PMU is missing print a better error message mentioning
the missing PMU.
% mkdir empty
% mount --bind empty /sys/devices/msr
% perf stat -M Summary true
event syntax error: '{inst_retired.any,cycles}:W,{cpu_clk_unhalted.thread}:W,{inst_retired.any}:W,{cpu_clk_unhalted.ref_tsc,msr/tsc/}:W,{fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar..'
\___ Cannot find PMU `msr'. Missing kernel support?
It still cannot find the right column for aliases, but it's already a vast improvement.
v2: Check asprintf
