perf build: Fix check for btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() in libbpf
Avi Kivity reported a problem where the __weak
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() in tools/perf/util/bpf-event.c was being
used and it called btf__get_from_id() in tools/lib/bpf/btf.c that in
turn called back to btf__load_from_kernel_by_id(), resulting in an
endless loop.
Fix this by adding a feature test to check if
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() is available when building perf with
LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1, and if not then provide the fallback to the old
btf__get_from_id(), that doesn't call back to btf__load_from_kernel_by_id()
since at that time it didn't exist at all.
Tested on Fedora 35 where we have libbpf-devel 0.4.0 with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC
where we don't have btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and thus its feature
test fail, not defining HAVE_LIBBPF_BTF__LOAD_FROM_KERNEL_BY_ID:
$ cat /tmp/build/perf-urgent/feature/test-libbpf-btf__load_from_kernel_by_id.make.output
