perf lock record: improve message when tracepoints are not enabled
If CONFIG options required for perf-lock are not enabled then the
corresponding tracepoints will not be enabled. Currently, the message to
the user is:
$ perf lock record -a -- sleep 1
invalid or unsupported event: 'lock:lock_acquire'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Improve the message with a suggestion on which CONFIG options are needed:
$ perf lock record -a -- sleep 1
tracepoint lock:lock_acquire is not enabled. Are CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT enabled?
