perf tools: Prefer to use a cpu-wide event for probing CLOEXEC

When doing a system-wide trace with Intel PT, the jump label set up as a
result of probing CLOEXEC gets reset while the trace is running.  That
causes an Intel PT decoding error because the object code (obtained from
/proc/kcore) does not match the running code at that point.  While we
can't expect there never to be jump label changes, we can avoid cases
that the perf tool itself creates.

The problem is avoided by first trying a cpu-wide event (pid = -1) for
probing the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag and falling back to an event for
the current process (pid = 0).
