If a perf_event creation fails due to any reason of the host perf
subsystem, it has no chance to log the corresponding event for guest
which may cause abnormal sampling data in guest result. In debug mode,
this message helps to understand the state of vPMC and we may not
limit the number of occurrences but not in a spamming style.
