perf/core: Add sanity check to deal with pinned event failure
It is possible that a failure can occur during the scheduling of a pinned event. The initial portion of perf_event_read_local() contains the various error checks an event should pass before it can be considered valid. Ensure that the potential scheduling failure of a pinned event is checked for and have a credible error.
