Subject: [PATCH v2] perf tools: Get a perf cgroup more portably in BPF

The perf_event_cgrp_id can be different on other configurations.
To be more portable as CO-RE, it needs to get the cgroup subsys id
using the bpf_core_enum_value() helper.

I remember using bpf_core_enum_value requires a compiler built-in. So
the build will fail on old compiler such as clang-11. See [1]. Maybe
we should surround it with #if
__has_builtin(__builtin_preserve_enum_value) to be sure.

Thanks for pointing this out. As this is a kind of optimization
I think we can fallback to using the existing value if not available.
Will send v3.

Thanks,
