perf tools: Ignore deleted cgroups

On large systems, cgroups can be created and deleted often.  That means
there's a race between perf tools and cgroups when it gets the cgroup
name and opens the cgroup.

I got a report that 'perf stat' with many cgroups failed quite often due
to the missing cgroups on such a large machine.

I think we can ignore such cgroups when expanding events and use id 0 if
it fails to read the cgroup id.  IIUC 0 is not a vaild cgroup id so it
won't update event counts for the failed cgroups.
