Subject: [PATCH v1] perf test: Replace grep perl regexp with awk

perl is not universal on all machines and should be replaced with awk,
which is much more common.

Before:
  $ perf test "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" -v
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 145431
  grep: Perl matching not supported in a --disable-perl-regexp build

  FAIL: could not add event
  ---- end(-1) ----
  121: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : FAILED!
After:
  $ perf test "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" -v
  121: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : Ok
