perf tools: Fix permission checks
The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is
not root which results in a very confusing error message:
$ perf record -A -a -f
Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied)
Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for
EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message:
$ perf record -A -a -f
Fatal: Permission error - are you root?
