perf/core, arch/alpha: Strengthen exclusion checks with PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE

As the Alpha PMU doesn't support context exclusion let's advertise
the PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE capability. This ensures that perf will
prevent us from handling events where any exclusion flags are set.
Let's also remove the now unnecessary check for exclusion flags.

This change means that __hw_perf_event_init will now also
indicate that it doesn't support exclude_host and exclude_guest and
will now implicitly return -EINVAL instead of -EPERM. This is likely
more desirable as -EPERM will result in a kernel.perf_event_paranoid
related warning from the perf userspace utility.
