perf tools: Add helpers to use capabilities if present

Browse source 
Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss.  Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

Committer notes:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : FAILED!
  $ perf test -v python
  Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 23288
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: cap_get_flag
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  $

This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  	libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
  $

The python binding isn't linking with libcap:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $

So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:

  $ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
    $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $
