perf/live-mode: Handle payload-less events

Some events, such as the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event consist of
only an event header and no data.  In this case, a 0-length payload
will be read, and the 0 return value will be wrongly interpreted as an
'unexpected end of event stream'.

This patch allows for proper handling of data-less events by skipping
0-length reads.
