perf/hw_breakpoint: Return EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported breakpoint type

[ Upstream commit 061c991697062f3bf87b72ed553d1d33a0e370dd ]

Currently, __reserve_bp_slot() returns -ENOSPC for unsupported
breakpoint types on the architecture. For example, powerpc
does not support hardware instruction breakpoints. This causes
the perf_skip BPF selftest to fail, as neither ENOENT nor
EOPNOTSUPP is returned by perf_event_open for unsupported
breakpoint types. As a result, the test that should be skipped
for this arch is not correctly identified.

To resolve this, hw_breakpoint_event_init() should exit early by
checking for unsupported breakpoint types using
hw_breakpoint_slots_cached() and return the appropriate error
(-EOPNOTSUPP).
