Commit d78ada4a76 ("perf tests attr: Do not store failed events") does
not create an event file in the /tmp directory when the
perf_open_event() system call failed.
This can lead to a situation where not /tmp/event-xx-yy-zz result file
exists at all (for example on a s390x virtual machine environment) where
no CPUMF hardware is available.
The following command then fails with a python call back chain instead
of printing failure:
[root@s8360046 perf]# /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ \
-p ./perf -v -ttest-stat-basic
running './tests/attr//test-stat-basic'
Traceback (most recent call last):

This patch catches this pitfall and prints an error message instead:
