[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 02/23] i915/perf: Fix OA short_reads test

[Umesh Nerlige Ramappa]

With 5000 ns oa exponent, report lost errors can occur. A report lost
header can be read by the user even when there are no valid OA report
samples, so we get an 8 byte read. This defeats the EFAULT check.

When checking for EFAULT on a sampled report, discard any report lost
errors.
