perf test: Mute test cases error messages if verbose == 0

Sometimes error messages in breaks the pretty output of 'perf test'.
For example:

  # mv /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc4+/build/vmlinux{,.bak}
  # perf test LLVM BPF
  35: Test LLVM searching and compiling                        :
  35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test                          : Ok
  35.2: Test kbuild searching                                  : Ok
  35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test        : Ok
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : Ok
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           :Failed to find the path for kernel: No such file or directory FAILED!

This patch mute test cases thoroughly by redirect their stdout and
stderr to /dev/null when verbose == 0. After applying this patch:

  # ./perf test LLVM BPF
  35: Test LLVM searching and compiling                        :
  35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test                          : Ok
  35.2: Test kbuild searching                                  : Ok
  35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test        : Ok
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : Ok
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : FAILED!

  # ./perf test -v LLVM BPF
