Jiri Olsa 5c83eff381 perf build: Stop using __weak bpf_prog_load() to handle older libbpf versions
By adding a feature test for bpf_prog_load() and providing a fallback if
it isn't present in older versions of libbpf.

Committer testing:

  $ rpm -q libbpf-devel
  libbpf-devel-0.4.0-2.fc35.x86_64

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libbpf-bpf_prog_load.make.output

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
