perf evsel: State in the default event name if attr.exclude_kernel is set

When no event is specified perf will use the "cycles" hardware event
with the highest precision available in the processor, and excluding
kernel events for non-root users, so make that clear in the event name
by setting the "u" event modifier, i.e. "cycles:upp".

E.g.:

The default for root:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:ppp: ..., precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 0, ...
  #

And for !root:

  $ perf record usleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:uppp: ... , precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 1, ...
  $
