perf evsel: Emit warning about kernel not supporting the data page size sample_type bit
Before we had this unhelpful message:
$ perf record --data-page-size sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles:u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
$
Add support to the perf_missing_features variable to remember what
caused evsel__open() to fail and then use that information in
evsel__open_strerror().
$ perf record --data-page-size sleep 1
Error:
Asking for the data page size isn't supported by this kernel.
