perf tools: Check fallback error and order
The perf_event_open might fail due to various reasons, so blindly
reducing precise_ip level might not be the best way to deal with it.
It seems the kernel return -EOPNOTSUPP when PMU doesn't support the
given precise level. Let's try again with the correct error code.
This caused a problem on AMD, as it stops on precise_ip of 2 for IBS but
user events with exclude_kernel=1 cannot make progress. Let's add the
evsel__handle_error_quirks() to this case specially. I plan to work on
the kernel side to improve this situation but it'd still need some
special handling for IBS.
