[PATCH v9 05/14] perf: Add a pmu capability for "exclusive" events

[Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>]

Usually, pmus that do, for example, instruction tracing, would only ever
be able to have one event per task per cpu (or per perf_context). For such
pmus it makes sense to disallow creating conflicting events early on, so
as to provide consistent behavior for the user.

This patch adds a pmu capability that indicates such constraint on event
creation.
