Add common code to generate ENOTSUPP at event creation time if an 
architecture attempts to create a sampled event and PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT
is set.

This adds a new pmu->capabilities flag.  
Initially we only support PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT (to indicate a PMU
has no support for generating hardware interrupts) but there are 
other capabilities that can be added later.
