perf/abi: Change the errno for sampling event not supported in hardware

Change the return code for sampling event not supported from -ENOTSUPP
to -EOPNOTSUPP.

This allows userspace to identify this case specifically, instead of
printing the catch-all error message it did previously.

Technically this is an ABI change, but we think we can get away
with it.

Old behavior:
 -------
 | # perf record ls
 | Error:
 | The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 524 (Unknown error 524)
 | for event (cycles:ppp).
 | /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
 | No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

New behavior:
 -------
 | # perf record ls
 | Error:
 | PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
