perf header: Fix divide by zero error if f_header.attr_size==0
So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool. First issue found: If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash with a divide-by-zero error. Committer note: Added a pr_err() to tell the user why the command failed.
