Subject: [PATCH 4.9 78/90] perf/amd/uncore: Replace manual sampling check with CAP_NO_INTERRUPT flag

From: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@....com>

[ Upstream commit f967140dfb7442e2db0868b03b961f9c59418a1b ]

Enable the sampling check in kernel/events/core.c::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'
