[PATCH 3/3] Revert "perf tools: Emit clearer message for sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return"

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit aa7bc7ef73efc46d7c3a0e185eefaf85744aec98.

It removed the fallback from hardware profiling to software profiling.
.e.g., in a VM with no PMU.
