perf: Disable sampled events if no PMU interrupt
Add common code to generate -ENOTSUPP at event creation time if an
architecture attempts to create a sampled event and
PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT is set.
This adds a new pmu->capabilities flag. Initially we only support
PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT (to indicate a PMU has no support for generating
hardware interrupts) but there are other capabilities that can be
added later.

[peterz: rename to PERF_PMU_CAP_* and moved the pmu::capabilities word into a hole]
