perf stat: Fallback to user only counters when perf_event_paranoid > 1
After 0161028b7c8a ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2")
'perf stat' fails for users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so just use
'perf_evsel__fallback()' to have the same behaviour as 'perf record',
i.e. set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.
Now:
[acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat usleep 1
