perf parse-events: Set exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting

Currently if we run 'perf record -e cycles:u', exclude_guest=0.

But it doesn't make sense in most cases that we request for
user-space counting but we also get the guest report.

Of course, we also need to consider 'perf kvm' usage case that
authorized perf users on the host may only want to count guest user
space events. For example,

  # perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u

When we have 'exclude_guest=1' for 'perf kvm' usage, we may get nothing
from guest events.

To keep perf semantics consistent and clear, this patch sets
exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting but except for 'perf kvm' usage.

Before:

  perf record -e cycles:u ./div
  perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, ...

After:
  perf record -e cycles:u ./div
  perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1,  exclude_guest: 1, ...

Before:
  perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:

  size                             120
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
  read_format                      ID
  disabled                         1
  inherit                          1
  exclude_kernel                   1
  exclude_hv                       1
  freq                             1
  sample_id_all                    1

After:

  perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv

perf_event_attr:
  size                             120
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD
  read_format                      ID
  disabled                         1
  inherit                          1
  exclude_kernel                   1
  exclude_hv                       1
  freq                             1
  sample_id_all                    1

For Before/After, exclude_guest are both 0 for perf kvm usage.
