Subject: [PATCH] Fix perf-hooks test for sanitizers

The perf-hooks test fails with Address Sanitizer and Memory
Sanitizer builds because it purposefully generates a segfault.
Checking if these sanitizers are active when running this test
will allow the perf-hooks test to pass.

This can be replicated by running (from the tip directory):

make -C tools/perf USE_CLANG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address \
-DADDRESS_SANITIZER=1"

then running tools/perf/perf test 55

Fix past to pass:
The raised signal was changed from SIGSEGV to SIGILL to get the test 
to pass on our local machines which use clang 4.
