Seems to me, this is not right. The current code checks any context
ID setting but it can tolerate if missing "contexid[*]" format.
After calling evsel__get_config_val(), if any "contextid[*]" format is
missed, it returns error and will diretly bail out. As a result,
cs_etm_validate_context_id() will always return error.

Similiar issue here. The current code returns 0 if not find "timestamp"
format. With this change, it returns error instead.
