Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo df76e00383 perf build: Stop using __weak bpf_map_create() to handle older libbpf versions
By adding a feature test for bpf_map_create() and providing a fallback if
it isn't present in older versions of libbpf.

This also fixes the build with torvalds/master at this point:

  $ git log --oneline -5 torvalds/master
  babf0bb978 (torvalds/master) Merge tag 'xfs-5.19-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

  fbe86daca0 Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi
  $

Coping with:

  $ git log --oneline -2 d16495a982
  d16495a982 libbpf: remove bpf_create_map*() APIs
  e2371b1632 libbpf: start 1.0 development cycle
  $

As the __weak function fails to build as it calls the now removed
bpf_create_map() API.

Testing:

  $ rpm -q libbpf-devel

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
