This reverts commit deaff8b659cf4d34181c087b8cdf74f1eb17b02b.
This commit makes CLOEXEC feature undetected for normal users,
because per-cpu events are priviledged.

Intel PT decoding walks the object code to reconstruct the trace. A
jump label change during tracing causes decoding errors.
The "Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor" patch caused
there to be always a jump label change.
It was found that using a per-cpu context instead of a per-thread
context for the probe of the close-on-exec feature, made the problem go
away.

In commit a21b0b354d4a ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable
close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC
was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.
This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.
