perf top: Skip side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not set
When I execute 'perf top' without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, there exists the
following segmentation fault, skip the side-band event setup to fix it,
this is similar with commit 1101c87 ("perf record: Skip side-band
event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not set").
[yangtiezhu@linux perf]$ ./perf top
<SNIP>
perf: Segmentation fault
Obtained 6 stack frames.

I use git bisect to find commit b38d85e ("perf bpf: Decouple
creating the evlist from adding the SB event") is the first bad commit,
so also add the Fixes tag.
Committer testing:
First build perf explicitely disabling libbpf:
$ make NO_LIBBPF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin && perf test python
Now make sure it isn't linked:
$ perf -vv | grep -w bpf
bpf: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
$
$ nm ~/bin/perf | grep libbpf
$
And now try to run 'perf top':
# perf top
perf: Segmentation fault
