perf/aux: Correct return code of rb_alloc_aux() if !has_aux(ev)
If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP. This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space, and, for example, the perf tools fails with: failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22) This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock". The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP. With this commit, the perf tool then reports: failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported) which is more clear.
