[PATCH] perf: Add packageconfig for libbfd support and use disabled as default

[Khem Raj]

Disable it by default, libbfd changes with binutils major releases and
sometimes it creates a dependency to fix it. See [1]

This will help building with binutils 2.39

Ack'd. The change is good with me.

I have linux-yocto changes for the new binutils, but this will help
other kernels until they update.
