Subject: [PATCH 1/3 RESEND] perf/amd/uncore: Replace manual sampling check with CAP_NO_INTERRUPT flag

This enables the sampling check in kernel/events/core.c's
perf_event_open, which returns the more appropriate -EOPNOTSUPP.

BEFORE:

$ sudo perf record -a -e instructions,l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

With nothing relevant in dmesg.

AFTER:

$ sudo perf record -a -e instructions,l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses true
Error:
l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'
