perf stat: Don't show counter information when workload fails

When starting a workload 'stat' wasn't using prepare_workload evlist
method's signal based exec() error reporting mechanism.

Use it so that the we don't report 'not counted' counters.

Before:

  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf stat dfadsfa
  dfadsfa: No such file or directory

   Performance counter stats for 'dfadsfa':

       <not counted>      task-clock
       <not counted>      context-switches
       <not counted>      cpu-migrations
       <not counted>      page-faults
       <not counted>      cycles
       <not counted>      stalled-cycles-frontend
     <not supported>      stalled-cycles-backend
       <not counted>      instructions
       <not counted>      branches
       <not counted>      branch-misses

         0.001831462 seconds time elapsed

  [acme@zoo linux]$

After:

  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf stat dfadsfa
  dfadsfa: No such file or directory
  [acme@zoo linux]$
