[PATCH] perf record: Change error message on failure

[Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>]

Only report

 No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

if the syscall fails with ENOSYS. In other cases CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is
set and might confuse users. The default message is now:

 Not all events could be opened.
