[PATCH] tools build: Link crypto lib for libopenssl feature

[PATCH] tools build: Link crypto lib for libopenssl feature

[Leo Yan]

The perf static build reports that the BPF skeleton is disabled due to
the missing libopenssl feature.

Linking the crypto library fixes the static build failure.

I'm not sure if it's enough.  My build still doesn't have BPF skeleton
support even with this change.  It seems to want zlib and zstd as well.

Here's my tools/build/feature/test-libopenssl.make.output.

I did not see the build failure on Ubuntu 24.04 but I can reproduce the
issue after changed to Debian sid.  I will send a new version.

Thanks!
