It tries cycles (or cpu-clock on s390) event with exclude_kernel bit to open. But other arch on a VM can fail with the hardware event and need to fallback to the software event in the same way. So let's get rid of the cpuid check and use generic fallback mechanism using an array of event candidates. Now event in the odd index excludes the kernel so use that for the return value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
