perf evsel: Provide meaningful warning when trying to use 'aux_output' on older kernels
Just like we do with the 'write_backwards' feature:
Before:
# perf record -e {intel_pt/branch=0/,cycles/aux-output/ppp} uname
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles/aux-output/ppp).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
#
After:
# perf record -e {intel_pt/branch=0/,cycles/aux-output/ppp} uname
Error:
The 'aux_output' feature is not supported, update the kernel.
