Subject: [PATCH v3] perf evsel amd: Fix IBS error message

AMD IBS can do per-process profiling[1] and is no longer restricted to
per-cpu or systemwide only. Remove stale error message. Also, checking
just exclude_kernel is not sufficient since IBS does not support any
privilege filters. So include all exclude_* checks. And finally, move
these checks under tools/perf/arch/x86/ from generic code.

Before:
  $ sudo ./perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
  Error:
  AMD IBS may only be available in system-wide/per-cpu mode.  Try
  using -a, or -C and workload affinity

After:
  $ sudo ./perf record -e ibs_op//k -C 0
  Error:
  AMD IBS doesn't support privilege filtering. Try again without
  the privilege modifiers (like 'k') at the end.
