[PATCH v1] perf build: Pretend scandirat is missing with msan

[PATCH v1] perf build: Pretend scandirat is missing with msan

[Ian Rogers]

Memory sanitizer lacks an interceptor for scandirat, reporting all
memory it allocates as uninitialized. Memory sanitizer has a scandir
interceptor so use the fallback function in this case. This allows
perf test to run under memory sanitizer.

Note, as msan needs to instrument memory allocations libraries need to
be compiled with it. I lacked the msan built libraries and so built
with:
```
$ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O0 -g
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=memory
-fsanitize-memory-track-origins" CC=clang CXX=clang++ HOSTCC=clang
NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 NO_LIBELF=1 BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 NO_LIBPFM=1
```
oh, I disabled libbpf here as the bpf system call also lacks msan interceptors.

Thanks,
Ian

I added the above notes to the cset message.

Thanks, applied to perf-tools-next,
