perf tools: Fix raw sample reading 

Wrong pointer is being passed for raw data sanity checking, when parsing
sample event.

This ends up with invalid event and perf record being stuck in
__perf_session__process_events function during processing build IDs
(process_buildids function).

Following command hangs up in my setup:
	./perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter ls

The fix is to use proper pointer to the raw data instead of the 'u'
union.
