[PATCH v2 04/20] perf/hw_breakpoint: perf/core: advertise PMU exclusion capability

The breakpoint PMU has the capability to exclude kernel contexts,
let's advertise that we support the PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUDE
capability so that perf doesn't prevent us from handling events
with any exclusion flags set.
