perf stat: Stop repeating when ref_perf_stat() returns -1
Exit when run_perf_stat() returns an error to avoid continuously
repeating the same error message. It's not expected that COUNTER_FATAL
or internal errors are recoverable so there's no point in retrying.
This fixes the following flood of error messages for permission issues,
for example when perf_event_paranoid==3:
perf stat -r 1044 -- false
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
...
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
...
(repeating for 1044 times).
