[PATCH] tools/perf/tests: Fix Basic BPF llvm compile to check for libbpf support

[Athira Rajeev]

Basic BPF llvm compile fails in systems with libbpf
that doesn't support BTF. Log shows below information.

	libbpf: BTF is required, but is missing or corrupted.
	Failed to parse test case 'Basic BPF llvm compile'
	test child finished with -2
	---- end ----

Here BPF llvm compile fails due to missing BTF support.
Fix the llvm test to skip the test incase BTF support is
missing.

Can we use the return value of libbpf_get_error() instead of
using the errno?

Also I'm curious why it requires BTF even if the BPF program
doesn't use it.  Is there an option or something for that?

Thanks,
