The perf_event_open might fail due to various reasons, so blindly
reducing precise_ip level might not be the best way to deal with it.

It seems the kernel return -EOPNOTSUPP when PMU doesn't support the
given precise level.  Let's try again with the correct error code.

This caused a problem on AMD, as it stops on precise_ip of 2 for IBS but
user events with exclude_kernel=1 cannot make progress.  Let's add the
evsel__handle_error_quirks() to this case specially.  I plan to work on
the kernel side to improve this situation but it'd still need some
special handling for IBS.
