perf tools: Fix probing the kernel API with cpu-wide events

Fall back to probing with the current pid if cpu-wide probing fails.
This primarily affects the setting of comm_exec flag when the user is
un-privileged and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid > 0.

The change to comm_exec can be observed by using -vv with perf record
and a kernel that supports comm_exec.
