Subject: [PATCH bpf v2] selftests/bpf: skip nmi test when perf hw events are disabled

Some setups (e.g. virtual machines) might run with hardware perf events
disabled. If this is the case, skip the test_send_signal_nmi test.

Add a separate test involving a software perf event. This allows testing
the perf event path regardless of hardware perf event support.

Signed-off-by: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@...ux.ibm.com>
---

v1->v2: Skip the test instead of using a software event.
Add a separate test with a software event.
