Subject: [PATCH 8/9] perf tools: Check wether the eBPF file exists in event parsing

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...hat.com>

Adding the check wether the eBPF file exists, to consider it
as eBPF input file. This way we can differentiate eBPF events
from events that end up with same suffix as eBPF file.

Before:
  $ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/'  true
  bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler
  WARNING:        unable to get correct kernel building directory.
  Hint:   Set correct kbuild directory using 'kbuild-dir' option in [llvm]
          section of ~/.perfconfig or set it to "" to suppress kbuild
          detection.

  event syntax error: 'cpu/uops_executed.core/'
                       \___ Failed to load cpu/uops_executed.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost

After:
  $ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/'  true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             181,533      cpu/uops_executed.core/:u

         0.002795447 seconds time elapsed

If user makes type in the eBPF file, we prioritize the event syntax
and show following warning:

  $ perf stat -e 'krava.c//'  true
  event syntax error: 'krava.c//'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `krava.c'. Missing kernel support?
