Subject: [PATCH 2/5] ftrace perf: Move exclude_kernel tracepoint check to init event

We suppress events with attr::exclude_kernel set when
the event is generated, so following capture will
give no warning but won't produce any data:

  $ sudo perf record -e sched:sched_switch:u ls
  $ sudo /perf script | wc -l
  0

Checking the attr::exclude_(kernel|user) at the event
init time and failing right away for tracepoints from
uprobes/kprobes and native ones:

  $ sudo perf record -e sched:sched_switch:u ls
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (sched:sched_switch).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
  No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

  $ sudo perf record -e probe:sys_read:u ls
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (probe:sys_read).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
  No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

  $ ./perf record -e probe_ex:main:k ./ex
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (probe_ex:main).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
  No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
