[RFC PATCH v1 20/37] perf evsel: separate rlimit increase from evsel__open_cpu

[Riccardo Mancini]

This is a preparatory patch for the following patches with the goal to
separate from evlist__open_cpu the actual opening (which could be
performed in parallel), from the existing fallback mechanisms, which
should be handled sequentially.

This patch separates the rlimit increase from evsel__open_cpu.
