perf tools: Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor

In commit a21b0b354d4a ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable
close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC
was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.

This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.
