perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported"

perf stat is failing on PowerPC:

Error: open_counter returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

commit 370faf1dd046 (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events)
added a check for failure returning ENOENT, but the POWER backend
returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the
same.

With the patch applied, things work as expected:

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

0.362176 task-clock # 0.623 CPUs utilized
0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec
0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
28 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec
