[PATCH] bpf: make perf_event_read_output accessible from BPF core when available

[PATCH] bpf: make perf_event_read_output accessible from BPF core when available

[Emil Tsalapatis]

The perf_event_read_event_output helper is currently only available to
tracing protrams, but is useful for other BPF programs like sched_ext
schedulers. When the helper is available, provide its bpf_func_proto
directly from the bpf core.

please add bpf-next to the subject, otherwise lgtm
