perf evsel: Handle ENODEV on default cycles event

Some systems (e.g., VMs on qemu-0.13 with the default vcpu model) report
an unsupported CPU model:

Performance Events: unsupported p6 CPU model 2 no PMU driver, software events only.

Subsequent invocations of perf fail with:

The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 19 (No such device) for event (cycles).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

Add ENODEV to the list of errno's to fallback to cpu-clock.
