Since Peter suggest it is pointless for a system-wide perf_event
has inherit bit set [1], I think it should be safe to enable
system-wide perf_event pass this check?
here we don't know whether it's system wide or not, so the check
is needed.
The patch is the fix that should have been there from day one.
We must be safe first and relax later.
