ftrace/perf: Check sample types only for sampling events

Currently we check sample type for ftrace:function events
even if it's not created as a sampling event. That prevents
creating ftrace_function event in counting mode.

Make sure we check sample types only for sampling events.

Before:
  $ sudo perf stat -e ftrace:function ls
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

     <not supported>      ftrace:function

         0.001983662 seconds time elapsed

After:
  $ sudo perf stat -e ftrace:function ls
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

              44,498      ftrace:function

         0.037534722 seconds time elapsed
