From: Stephane Eranian <eran...@google.com>
When an event is in error state, read() returns 0
instead of sizeof() buffer. In certain modes, such
as interval printing, ignoring the 0 return value
may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and
thus invalid results printed.
this patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters()
to mark the event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force
the printout routine to show <NOT COUNTED>.
