[PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Skip res_spin_lock_stress if no perf support

[Maxim Khmelevskii]

Probe PMU support before loading bpf_test_rqspinlock.ko,
otherwise the test fails with not obvious error without
proper perf event support:

    Failed to load bpf_test_rqspinlock.ko into the kernel: -2
    serial_test_res_spin_lock_stress:FAIL:load module AA
        unexpected error: -22 (errno 2)
