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.
