perf jevents: Make build fail on JSON parse error
Today, when a JSON file fails parsing the build continues, but there are
no json files built in, which is difficult to debug later. Make the
build stop on a parse error instead.
v2: Add fixes from Sukadev. Now we handle architectures
with no JSON events correctly. And fix some stale comments.
Committer note:
Tested by running the cross build container tests, that were all failing
for v1.
