[PATCH 1/3] ftrace: Check sample types only for sampling events

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

Currently we check sample type for ftrace:function event
even if it's not created as sampling event. That prevents
creating ftrace_function event in counting mode.

Making sure we check sample types only for sampling events.

Before:
  $ sudo perf stat -e ftrace:function ls
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

     <not supported>      ftrace:function

         0.001983662 seconds time elapsed

After:
  $ sudo perf stat -e ftrace:function ls
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

              44,498      ftrace:function

         0.037534722 seconds time elapsed
