perf/aux: Correct return code of rb_alloc_aux() if !has_aux(ev)
If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does
not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP.
This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space,
and, for example, the perf tools fails with:
failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22)
This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock".
The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP
error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error
code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP.
With this commit, the perf tool then reports:
failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported)
which is more clear.
