Subject: [PATCH v3] perf bench: fix assert when NDEBUG is defined

From: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@...el.com>

When NDEBUG is defined, the assert macro will be expanded to nothing.
Some assert calls used in perf are also including some functionality
(e.g. system calls), not only validity checks. Therefore, if NDEBUG is
defined, this functionality will be removed along with the assert.
Perf also defines BUG_ON based on assert, so it has the same problem.

Define BUG_ON so that the condition will be executed when NDEBUG is defined.
Replace the assert statements that have these side effects with BUG_ON.

For defining BUG_ON, use "if (cond) {}" insted of "if (cond) ;" because in
the latter case build fails with "error: suggest braces around empty body in
an ‘if’ statement [-Werror=empty-body]"
