Switch to using evsel__match rather than comparing perf_event_attr
values, this is robust on hybrid architectures.
Ensure evsel->pmu matches the evsel->core.attr.
Remove exclude bits that get set in other fallback attempts when
switching the event.
Log the event name with modifiers when switching the event on fallback.
