[RFC PATCH 6/7] perf_event_open: check for block interference CPUs

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>]

When creating perf events, return an error rather
than interfering with CPUs tagged as block interference.

Note: this patch is incomplete, installation of perf context 
on block interference CPUs via task context is not performed.
