Masami Hiramatsu 0808b3d5b7 perf probe: Provide clearer message permission error for tracefs access
Report permission error for the tracefs open and rewrite whole the error
message code around it.

You'll see a hint according to what you want to do with perf probe as
below.

  $ perf probe -l
  No permission to read tracefs.
  Please try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/tracing/'
    Error: Failed to show event list.

  $ perf probe -d \*
  No permission to write tracefs.
  Please run this command again with sudo.
    Error: Failed to delete events.

This also fixes -ENOTSUP checking for mounting tracefs/debugfs.
Actually open returns -ENOENT in that case and we have to check it with
current mount point list. If we unmount debugfs and tracefs perf probe
shows correct message as below.

  $ perf probe -l
  Debugfs or tracefs is not mounted
  Please try 'sudo mount -t tracefs nodev /sys/kernel/tracing/'
    Error: Failed to show event list.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
