Subject: [PATCH] perf bpf filter: Add an error message for BPF filter

Currently there's no error message for filter (other than the help for
the option) when it's built with NO_BPF_SKEL=1.  It should show the
BPF filter is not supported like below:

  $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter ip==1 true
  BPF filter is not supported        <------------------- added

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

          --filter <filter>
                            event filter
