perf test shell lbr: Avoid failures with perf event paranoia

[ Upstream commit 48314d2 ]

When not running as root and with higher perf event paranoia values
the perf record LBR tests could fail rather than skipping the
problematic tests.

Add the sensitivity to the test and confirm it passes with paranoia
values from -1 to 2.

Committer testing:

Testing with '$ perf test -vv lbr', i.e. as non root, and then comparing
the output shows the mentioned errors before this patch:

  acme@x1:~$ grep -m1 "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
  model name	: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1365U
  acme@x1:~$

Before:

 132: perf record LBR tests            : Skip

After:

 132: perf record LBR tests            : Ok
