James Clark 8f431a2869 perf evsel: Add error message for unsupported branch stack cases
EOPNOTSUPP is a possible return value when branch stacks are requested
but they aren't enabled in the kernel or hardware. It's also returned if
they aren't supported on the specific event type. The currently printed
error message about sampling/overflow-interrupts is not correct in this
case.

Add a check for branch stacks before sample_period is checked because
sample_period is also set (to the default value) when using branch
stacks.

Before this change (when branch stacks aren't supported):

  perf record -j any
  Error:
  cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'

After this change:

  perf record -j any
  Error:
  cycles: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
