perf record: Add BPF event filter support

Use --filter option to set BPF filter for generic events other than the
tracepoints or Intel PT.  The BPF program will check the sample data and
filter according to the expression.

For example, the below is the typical perf record for frequency mode.
The sample period started from 1 and increased gradually.

  $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles true
  $ sudo ./perf script
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916875:          1 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916892:          1 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916899:          3 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916905:         17 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916911:        100 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916917:        589 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916924:       3470 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2272336 546683.916930:      20465 cycles:  ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])
            true 2272336 546683.916940:     119873 cycles:  ffffffff8283afdd perf_iterate_ctx+0x2d ([kernel.kallsyms])
            true 2272336 546683.917003:     461349 cycles:  ffffffff82892517 vma_interval_tree_insert+0x37 ([kernel.kallsyms])
            true 2272336 546683.917237:     635778 cycles:  ffffffff82a11400 security_mmap_file+0x20 ([kernel.kallsyms])

When you add a BPF filter to get samples having periods greater than 1000,
the output would look like below:

  $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period > 1000' true
  $ sudo ./perf script
       perf-exec 2273949 546850.708501:       5029 cycles:  ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2273949 546850.708508:      32409 cycles:  ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2273949 546850.708526:     143369 cycles:  ffffffff82b4cdbf xas_start+0x5f ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2273949 546850.708600:     372650 cycles:  ffffffff8286b8f7 __pagevec_lru_add+0x117 ([kernel.kallsyms])
       perf-exec 2273949 546850.708791:     482953 cycles:  ffffffff829190de __mod_memcg_lruvec_state+0x4e ([kernel.kallsyms])
            true 2273949 546850.709036:     501985 cycles:  ffffffff828add7c tlb_gather_mmu+0x4c ([kernel.kallsyms])
            true 2273949 546850.709292:     503065 cycles:      7f2446d97c03 _dl_map_object_deps+0x973 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)

Committer notes:

Add stubs for perf_bpf_filter__prepare() and perf_bpf_filter__destroy()
to tools/perf/util/python.c to keep it building.
