perf: Add a pmu capability for "exclusive" events
Usually, pmus that do, for example, instruction tracing, would only ever
be able to have one event per task per cpu (or per perf_event_context). For
such pmus it makes sense to disallow creating conflicting events early on,
so as to provide consistent behavior for the user.
This patch adds a pmu capability that indicates such constraint on event
creation.
