Ian Rogers d53b499658 perf evsel: Skip store_evsel_ids for non-perf-event PMUs
The IDs are associated with perf events and not applicable to non-perf
event PMUs. The failure to generate the ids was causing perf stat
record to fail.

```
$ perf stat record -a sleep 1

Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
        echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
        perf stat ...
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
