perf evsel: State in the default event name if attr.exclude_kernel is set
When no event is specified perf will use the "cycles" hardware event
with the highest precision available in the processor, and excluding
kernel events for non-root users, so make that clear in the event name
by setting the "u" event modifier, i.e. "cycles:upp".
E.g.:
The default for root:
# perf record usleep 1
# perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: ..., precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 0, ...
#
And for !root:
$ perf record usleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:uppp: ... , precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 1, ...
