perf stat: Fall weak group back even for EBADF

It's not possible to run a package event and a per cpu event in the same
group. This is used by some of the power metrics.  They work correctly
when not using a group.

Normally weak groups should handle that, but in this case EBADF is
returned instead of the normal EINVAL.

  $ strace -e perf_event_open ./perf stat -v -e '{cstate_pkg/c2-residency/,msr/tsc/}:W' -a sleep 1
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-3E
  perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
  perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
  perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
  perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
  perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, 0) = 3
  perf_event_open({type=0x7 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, 3, 0) = 4
  perf_event_open({type=0x7 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 1, 0, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

and perf errors out.

Make weak groups trigger a fall back for EBADF too. Then this case works correctly:

  $ perf stat -v -e '{cstate_pkg/c2-residency/,msr/tsc/}:W' -a sleep 1
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-3E
