perf parse-events: Identify broken modifiers

Previously the broken modifier causes a usage message to printed but
nothing else.

After:

  $ perf stat -e 'cycles:kk' -a sleep 2
  event syntax error: 'cycles:kk'
                              \___ Bad modifier
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,cycles}:kk' -a sleep 2
  event syntax error: '..ns,cycles}:kk'
                                    \___ Bad modifier
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
