perf test bpf: Skip test if kernel-debuginfo is not present

[ Upstream commit 34266f904abd45731bdade2e92d0536c092ee9bc ]

Perf BPF filter test fails in environment where "kernel-debuginfo"
is not installed.

Test failure logs:

  <<>>
  42: BPF filter                            :
  42.1: Basic BPF filtering                 : Ok
  42.2: BPF pinning                         : Ok
  42.3: BPF prologue generation             : FAILED!
  <<>>

Enabling verbose option provided debug logs, which says debuginfo
needs to be installed. Snippet of verbose logs:

  <<>>
  42.3: BPF prologue generation                                       :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 28218
  <<>>
  Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo
  package.
  bpf_probe: failed to convert perf probe events
  Failed to add events selected by BPF
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  BPF filter subtest 3: FAILED!
  <<>>

Here the subtest "BPF prologue generation" failed and logs shows
debuginfo is needed. After installing kernel-debuginfo package, testcase
passes.

The "BPF prologue generation" subtest failed because, the do_test()
returns TEST_FAIL without checking the error type returned by
parse_events_load_bpf_obj().

parse_events_load_bpf_obj() can also return error of type -ENODATA
incase kernel-debuginfo package is not installed. Fix this by adding
check for -ENODATA error.

Test result after the patch changes:

Test failure logs:

  <<>>
  42: BPF filter                 :
  42.1: Basic BPF filtering      : Ok
  42.2: BPF pinning              : Ok
  42.3: BPF prologue generation  : Skip (clang/debuginfo isn't installed or environment missing BPF support)
  <<>>
