[PATCH] perf test: Fix perf test 42

[Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com>]

For some time now the perf test 42: BPF filter returns an error
on bpf relocation subtest, at least on x86 and s390. This is caused by

commit d859900c4c56 ("bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections")

which introduces support for global variables in eBPF programs. At least
for global variables defined static.

Perf test 42 checks that the eBPF relocation fails when the eBPF program
contains a global variable. It returns OK when the eBPF program
could not be loaded and FAILED otherwise.

With above commit the test logic for the eBPF relocation need to change:
1. The function prepare_bpf() now always succeeds, the eBPF program
   compiled without errors and returns a valid object pointer instead of
   NULL.
2. There is no kprobe named sys_write, it now named ksys_write.
3. The function do_test() now returns TEST_FAIL because function
   parse_events_load_bpf_obj() can not execute the eBPF program. The
   eBPF verifier complains on an invalid map pointer:
      libbpf: load bpf program failed: Permission denied
      libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
      libbpf:
      0: (b7) r1 = 0
      1: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r1
      last_idx 1 first_idx 0
      regs=2 stack=0 before 0: (b7) r1 = 0
      2: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -8) = r1
      3: (bf) r2 = r10
      4: (07) r2 += -4
      5: (bf) r3 = r10
      6: (07) r3 += -8
      7: (18) r1 = 0x380006ce000
      9: (b7) r4 = 0
      10: (85) call bpf_map_update_elem#2
      R1 type=map_value expected=map_ptr

Fix this by added logic to handle the kernel verifier return code:
1. Add function myksys_write() to cope with successful compile.
2. Use kprobe ksys_write
3. Handle eBPF verifier error.

Output after:
