perf evsel: Fix max perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection
After a discussion with Andi, move the perf_event_attr.precise_ip
detection for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default
cycles event) to perf_evsel__open().
The current detection in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() is
tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for given event and it
currently checks only hw cycles.
We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing
sys_perf_event_open() for specific event, before any of the
perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed.
This way we get the proper config in perf_event_attr together with
allowed precise_ip settings.
We can see that code activity with -vv, like:
$ perf record -vv ls
