perf evlist: Fix event ID retrieval for group format read case

We need to fail the event ID retrieval in case both following conditions
are true:

  - we are on kernel with no PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID support
  - PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format is set

The PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format bit is the killer for retrieving event
ID out of the read syscall, because we have no guarantee of the event
placement within leader kernel sibling list.
