Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf test: Silence tracepoint event failures

Currently, when perf test is run by a normal user, it'll fail to access
tracepoint events.  However the output is somewhat messy since it tries
to be nice with long error messages and hints.  IMHO it's not needed
for 'perf test' by default and AFAIK the perf test uses pr_debug()
rather than pr_err() for such messages so that one can use -v option to
see further details on failed testcases if needed.

Before:
  $ perf test
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                          : FAILED!
   2: detect openat syscall event                              :Error:
  No permissions to read
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat
  Hint:	Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
  FAILED!
   3: detect openat syscall event on all cpus                  :Error:
  No permissions to read
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat
  Hint:	Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
  FAILED!
   ...

After:
  $ perf test
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                          : FAILED!
   2: detect openat syscall event                              : FAILED!
   3: detect openat syscall event on all cpus                  : FAILED!
   ...

  $ perf test -v 2
   2: detect openat syscall event                              :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 30575
  Error:	    No permissions to read
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat
  Hint:  Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  detect openat syscall event: FAILED!
