perf evsel: Don't set exclude_guest by default

Perf tool sets exclude_guest by default while calling perf_event_open().
Because IBS does not have filtering capability, it always gets rejected
by IBS PMU driver and thus perf falls back to non-precise sampling. Fix
it by not setting exclude_guest by default on AMD.

Before:
  $ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
    precise_ip                       3
  decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
    precise_ip                       2
  decreasing precise_ip by one (1)
    precise_ip                       1
  decreasing precise_ip by one (0)

After:
  $ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
    precise_ip                       3
  decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
    precise_ip                       2

Committer notes:

Fixup init to zero for perf_env in older compilers:

  arch/x86/util/evsel.c:15:26: error: missing field 'os_release' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
          struct perf_env env = {0};
                                  ^

Committer notes:

Namhyung remarked:

  It'd be nice if it can cover explicit "-e cycles:pp" as well.

Ravi clarified:

  For explicit :pp modifier, evsel->precise_max does not get set and thus perf
  does not try with different attr->precise_ip values while exclude_guest set.
  So no issue with explicit :pp:

    $ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:pp -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
      precise_ip                       2
      exclude_guest                    1
      precise_ip                       2
      exclude_guest                    1
    switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host
      precise_ip                       2
    ^C

  Also, with :P modifier, evsel->precise_max gets set but exclude_guest does
  not and thus :P also works fine:

    $ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:P -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
      precise_ip                       3
    decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
      precise_ip                       2
    ^C
