When not running as root and with higher perf event paranoia values
the perf record LBR tests could fail rather than skipping the
problematic tests.
Add the sensitivity to the test and confirm it passes with paranoia
values from -1 to 2.
Committer testing:
Testing with '$ perf test -vv lbr', i.e. as non root, and then comparing
the output shows the mentioned errors before this patch:
acme@x1:~$ grep -m1 "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
model name : 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1365U
acme@x1:~$
Before:
132: perf record LBR tests : Skip
After:
132: perf record LBR tests : Ok
Fixes: 32559b99e0f59070 ("perf test: Add set of perf record LBR tests")

While CPU is a system device, it'd be better to use a path for
event_source devices when it checks PMU capability.

I found 'perf record LBR tests' failing due to empty branch stacks.
$ perf test -v LBR
...
LBR system wide any branch test
Lowering default frequency rate from 4000 to 1000.
Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

...
The failing cases were in system-wide mode and I realized that the
samples were from the idle tasks (swapper). I suspect going to/from
idle state may affect the LBR contents.
If we can skip empty branch stacks from the idle tasks, the failure
should go away. I can see the following output in perf report -D.
$ perf report -D | grep -m5 -A3 'branch stack: nr:0'
...

Some shell tests compete for resources and so can't run with other
tests, tag such tests. The "(exclusive)" stems from shared/exclusive
to describe how the tests run as if holding a lock.
For ARM/coresight tests:

Running on a:
root@x1:~# grep 'model name' -m1 /proc/cpuinfo
model name : 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1365U
root@x1:~#
It skips all the tests with:
root@x1:~# perf test -vvvv LBR
97: perf record LBR tests:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2033388
Skip: only x86 CPUs support LBR
---- end(-2) ----
97: perf record LBR tests : Skip
root@x1:~#
Because the test checks for the /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches file,
that isn't present as we have instead:
root@x1:~# ls -la /sys/devices/cpu*/caps/branches
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Aug 8 11:22 /sys/devices/cpu_atom/caps/branches
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Aug 8 11:21 /sys/devices/cpu_core/caps/branches
root@x1:~#
If we check as well for one of those,
/sys/devices/cpu_core/caps/branches, then we don't skip the tests and
all are run on these x86 Intel Hybrid systems as well, passing all of
them:
root@x1:~# perf test -vvvv LBR
