perf record: Skip side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not…

… set

We received an error report that perf-record caused 'Segmentation fault'
on a newly system (e.g. on the new installed ubuntu).

The root cause is, evlist__add_bpf_sb_event() just returns 0 if
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined (inline function path). So it will
not create a valid evsel for side-band event.

But perf-record still creates BPF side band thread to process the
side-band event, then the error happpens.

We can reproduce this issue by removing the libelf-dev. e.g.
1. apt-get remove libelf-dev
2. perf record -a -- sleep 1

  root@test:~# ./perf record -a -- sleep 1
  perf: Segmentation fault
  Obtained 6 stack frames.

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

To fix this issue,

1. We either install the missing libraries to let HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
   be defined.
   e.g. apt-get install libelf-dev and install other related libraries.

2. Use this patch to skip the side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
   is not set.

Committer notes:

The side band thread is not used just with BPF, it is also used with
--switch-output-event, so narrow the ifdef to the BPF specific part.
