perf session: Fix infinite loop on invalid perf.data file

perf-record updates the header in the perf.data file at termination.
Without this update perf-report (and other processing built-ins) it
caused an infinite loop when perf report (or something like) called.

This is because the algorithm in __perf_session__process_events()
depends on the data_size which is read from file header.  Use file size
directly instead in this case to do the best-effort processing.

[ Reworded warning as per Ingo Molnar suggestion, replaces 'perf.data'
  with session->filename, to precisely identify the data file involved ]
