kvm_stat: Print errno when syscall to perf_event_open() fails

kvm_stat uses syscall() to call perf_event_open(). If this function
call fails, the returned value is -1, which doesn't tell the details
of such failure (i.e. ENOSYS or EINVAL). This patch retrieves errno
and prints it when syscall() fails. The error message will look like
"Exception: perf_event_open failed, errno = 38".
