Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4c55560f23 perf build: Fix up broken capstone feature detection fast path
The capstone devel headers define 'struct bpf_insn' in a way that clashes with
what is in the libbpf devel headers, so we so far need to avoid including both.

This is happening on the tools/build/feature/test-all.c file, where we try
building all the expected set of libraries to be normally available on a
system:

  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output
  In file included from test-bpf.c:3,
                   from test-all.c:150:
  /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:77:8: error: ‘bpf_insn’ defined as wrong kind of tag
     77 | struct bpf_insn {
        |        ^~~~~~~~
  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output

When doing so there is a trick where we define main to be
main_test_libcapstone, then include the individual
tools/build/feture/test-libcapstone.c capability query test, and then we undef
'main' because we'll do it all over again with the next expected library to
be tested (at this time 'lzma').

To complete this mechanism we need to, in test-all.c 'main' routine, to
call main_test_libcapstone(), which isn't being done, so the effect of
adding references to capstone in test-all.c are not achieved.

The only thing that is happening is that test-all.c is failing to build and thus
all the tests will have to be done individually, which nullifies the test-all.c
single build speedup.

So lets remove references to capstone from test-all.c to see if this makes it
build again so that we get faster builds or go on fixing up whatever is
preventing us to get that benefit.

Nothing: after this fix we get a clean test-all.c build and get the build speedup back:

And when having capstone-devel installed we get it detected and linked with
perf, allowing us to benefit from the features that it enables:

  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ rpm -q capstone-devel
  capstone-devel-5.0.1-3.fc40.x86_64
  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/perf | grep capstone
  	libcapstone.so.5 => /lib64/libcapstone.so.5 (0x00007fe6a5c00000)
  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/perf -vv | grep cap
             libcapstone: [ on  ]  # HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT
  ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$
