perf: Tweak perf_event_attr::exclusive semantics
Currently perf_event_attr::exclusive can be used to ensure an event(group) is the sole group scheduled on the PMU. One consequence is that when you have a pinned event (say the watchdog) you can no longer have regular exclusive event(group)s. Inspired by the fact that !pinned events are considered less strict, allow !pinned,exclusive events to share the PMU with pinned,!exclusive events. Pinned,exclusive is still fully exclusive.
