Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Fix --task and --stat with pipe input

Current perf report fails to process a pipe input when --task
or --stat option is used. This is because they reset all the
tool callbacks and failed to find a matching event for a sample.

When pipe input is used, the event info is passed via ATTR records
so it needs to handle that operation. Otherwise the following error
occurred. Note, -14 (= -EFAULT) comes from evlist__parse_sample():

# perf record -a -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
Can't parse sample, err = -14
0x271044 [0x38]: failed to process type: 9
Error:
failed to process sample
