Jiri Olsa cd13618937 perf evsel: Do not rely on errno values for precise_ip fallback
Konstantin reported problem with default perf record command, which
fails on some AMD servers, because of the default maximum precise
config.

The current fallback mechanism counts on getting ENOTSUP errno for
precise_ip fails, but that's not the case on some AMD servers.

We can fix this by removing the errno check completely, because the
precise_ip fallback is separated. We can just try  (if requested by
evsel->precise_max) all possible precise_ip, and if one succeeds we win,
if not, we continue with standard fallback.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
