[PATCH v2 05/18] perf parse-events: Improve error message for double setting

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Double setting information for an event would produce an error
message associated with the PMU rather than the term that was
double setting. Improve the error message to be on the term.

Before:
```
$ perf stat -e 'cpu/inst_retired.any,inst_retired.any/' true
event syntax error: 'cpu/inst_retired.any,inst_retired.any/'
                     \___ Bad event or PMU

Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'cpu'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
```

After:
```
$ perf stat -e 'cpu/inst_retired.any,inst_retired.any/' true
event syntax error: '..etired.any,inst_retired.any/'
                                  \___ Bad event or PMU

Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'cpu'

Initial error:
event syntax error: '..etired.any,inst_retired.any/'
                                  \___ Attempt to set event's scale twice
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
```
