Peter Zijlstra 6142f9ec10 perf report: More robust error handling
Don't let funny events confuse us, stick to what we know and
try to find sensible data again.

If we find an unknown event, check we're still u64 aligned, and
increment by one u64. This ensures we're bound to happen upon a
valid event soon.
