perf stat: Separate bperf from bpf_profiler

It seems that perf stat -b <prog id> doesn't produce any results:

    $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
    Control descriptor is not initialized
    cycles: 0 0 0
                time        counts unit      events
10.007641640    <not supported>      cycles

Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the
corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map.
I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf
and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which
perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is
required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results:

    $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
    Control descriptor is not initialized
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    perf_event_attr:
      size                             136
      sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
      read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
      disabled                         1
      exclude_guest                    1
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    sys_perf_event_open: pid -1  cpu 0  group_fd -1  flags 0x8 = 3
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    [...perf_event_attr for other CPUs...]
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    cycles: 309426 169009 169009
time             counts unit events
10.010091271             309426      cycles

The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the
same metric obtained via bpftool.
