libperf evlist: Fix polling of system-wide events 

Originally, (refer commit f90d194a86 ("perf evlist: Do not poll
events that use the system_wide flag") there wasn't much reason to poll
system-wide events because:

 1. The mmaps get "merged" via set-output anyway (the per-cpu case)
 2. perf reads all mmaps when any event is woken
 3. system-wide mmaps do not fill up as fast as the mmaps for user
    selected events

But there was 1 reason not to poll which was that it prevented correct
termination due to POLLHUP on all user selected events.  That issue is
now easily resolved by using fdarray_flag__nonfilterable.

With the advent of commit ae4f8ae16a ("libperf evlist: Allow
mixing per-thread and per-cpu mmaps"), system-wide mmaps can be used
also in the per-thread case where reason 1 does not apply.

Fix the omission of system-wide events from polling by using the
fdarray_flag__nonfilterable flag.

Example:

 Before:

    $ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv -e intel_pt// --per-thread uname 2>err.txt
    Linux
    $ grep 'sys_perf_event_open.*=\|pollfd' err.txt
    sys_perf_event_open: pid 155076  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 5
    sys_perf_event_open: pid 155076  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 6
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 7
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 9
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 2  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 10
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 3  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 11
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 4  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 12
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 5  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 13
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 6  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 14
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 7  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 15
    thread_data[0x55fb43c29e80]: pollfd[0] <- event_fd=5
    thread_data[0x55fb43c29e80]: pollfd[1] <- event_fd=6
    thread_data[0x55fb43c29e80]: pollfd[2] <- non_perf_event fd=4

 After:

    $ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv -e intel_pt// --per-thread uname 2>err.txt
    Linux
    $ grep 'sys_perf_event_open.*=\|pollfd' err.txt
    sys_perf_event_open: pid 156316  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 5
    sys_perf_event_open: pid 156316  cpu -1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 6
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 7
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 1  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 9
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 2  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 10
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 3  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 11
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 4  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 12
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 5  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 13
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 6  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 14
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 7  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 15
    thread_data[0x55cc19e58e80]: pollfd[0] <- event_fd=5
    thread_data[0x55cc19e58e80]: pollfd[1] <- event_fd=6
