[PATCH v1 1/2] perf evsel: Add per-thread warning for EOPNOTSUPP open failues

[Ian Rogers]

The mrvl_ddr_pmu will return EOPNOTSUPP if opened in per-thread
mode. Give a warning for this similar to EINVAL. Doing this better
supports metric testing with limited permissions when the mrvl_ddr_pmu
is present, as the failure to open causes the test to skip and not
fail.
