Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 02/11] bpf: always emit struct bpf_perf_link BTF

When building bpftool with !CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS:

skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:47:14: error: incomplete definition of type 'struct bpf_perf_link'
perf_link = container_of(link, struct bpf_perf_link, link);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~^
skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:44:9: note: forward declaration of 'struct bpf_perf_link'

&bpf_perf_link is being defined and used only under the ifdef.
Move it out of the block and explicitly emit a BTF to fix
compilation.

Similar to v1, this fix is weird to me. I hope we have can fix it in user
space.

I've been thinking on this, but userspace is not provided with any
autoconf.h definitions (only selftests have them), so its code must
be sort of universal.
Both this and 01/11 are compile time and due to imcomplete and/or
absent BTF struct declarations. I'm not familiar with
bpf_core_field_exists(), and it might be that it's able to solve
01/11, but not this one. &bpf_perf_link must be present
unconditionally, otherwise it won't be defined in the generated
vmlinux.h at all.

Thanks,
