[PATCH v5 05/12] arm: perf: conditionally use PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE

[Andrew Murray]

The ARM PMU driver can be used to represent a variety of ARM based
PMUs. Some of these PMUs do not provide support for context
exclusion, where this is the case we advertise the
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE capability to ensure that perf prevents us
from handling events where any exclusion flags are set.

Where an ARM PMU driver has the set_event_filter function implemented,
we rely on it to perform exclusion checks. At present some of these
functions do not test for all of the available exclude flags.
