On s390 the event instructions can not be used for recording.
This event is only supported by perf stat.
Skip all tests which use perf record -e instruction ....

Is this a fix for 180fd0c1eac7 ("perf tests: Make leader sampling test 
work without branch event")? If so sorry for the breakage.

Can you change it to cycles instead of instructions? The actual event 
didn't seem to be important for the test. I see there is a perf record 
-e cycles for test_precise_max() so I'm assuming that works for s390 as 
it isn't conditional.
