Event group test checks group creation for combinations of
hw, sw and uncore PMU events. Some of the uncore pmus may
require additional permission to access the counters.
For example, in case of hv_24x7, partition need to have
permissions to access hv_24x7 pmu counters. If not, event_open
will fail. Hence add a sanity check to see if event_open
succeeds before proceeding with the test.

PMUs")
