[RFC PATCH v6 31/32] perf tools: Attach eBPF program to perf event

In this patch PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF
program to a newly created perf event. The file descriptor of the
eBPF program is passed to perf record using previous patches, and
stored into evsel->bpf_fd.

It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the
ioctl, EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.
