Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] perf: build: Fix static compilation error when libdw is not installed

If libdw is not installed in build environment, the output of
'pkg-config --modversion libdw' is empty, causing LIBDW_VERSION_2
to be empty and the shell test will have the following error:

  /bin/sh: 1: test: -lt: unexpected operator

Before:

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  /bin/sh: 1: test: -lt: unexpected operator

After:

  1. libdw is not installed:

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>
  Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'libdw' found
  Makefile.config:473: No libdw DWARF unwind found, Please install elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.158 and/or set LIBDW_DIR

  2. libdw version is lower than 0.177

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  0.176
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                                   dwarf: [ on  ]
  <SNIP>
    INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
    INSTALL libapi_headers
    INSTALL libperf_headers
    INSTALL libsymbol_headers
    INSTALL libbpf_headers
    LINK    perf

  3. libdw version is higher than 0.177

  $ pkg-config --modversion libdw
  0.186
  $ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
  <SNIP>

  Auto-detecting system features:
