[PATCH 1/4] kernel-shark: kshark_import_event_filter() tolerates non-existing events

["Yordan Karadzhov (VMware)" <y.karadz@gmail.com>]

Instead of aborting, the function will ignore (skip) the non-existing
event and will continue loading the other events in the configuration
file. The return type is changed to int in order to provide information
about the number of events successfully added to the filter.
