Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Create libdir directory before installing libperf-jvmti.so

The install command for libperf-jvmti.so does not check if libdir exists
before installing. This means that when the install command is run:

install libperf-jvmti.so '/tmp/test_root/usr/lib64';

libperf-jvmti.so will get installed to /usr/lib64 as a file and break further
installation. Fix this by ensuring the directory gets created first.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410296

Fixes: d4dfdf00d43e ("perf jvmti: Plug compilation into perf build")

For full disclosure, Fedora is setting NO_JVMTI but this should still be fixed
to allow it to be turned on in the future.
