[PATCH v1 2/2] perf tools: report PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC probing error once

[Yann Droneaud]

In case of failure, unrelated to PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC,
perf_flag_probe() reports the error twice. For example:

  $ perf record ls
  Error:
  perf_event_open(..., PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC) failed with unexpected error 16 (Device or resource busy)
  perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 16 (Device or resource busy)

There's no need for the second error message, so this
patch changes the function to only report a second
error message if the two calls to perf_even_open(2)
fail with different error codes.
