For 4, please fold the patch below into the relevant patch, we don't
need bpf_counter.h included in util/evsel.h, you even added a forward
declaration for that 'struct bpf_counter_ops'.
And in general we should refrain from adding extra includes to header
files, .h-ell is not good.
Then we provide a stub for that bpf_counter__destroy() so that
util/evsel.o when linked into the perf python biding find it there,
links ok.
As we don't have a way to create such events via the perf python
binding, there will nothing to be done when destroying evsels created
via python.
