bpf_trace: Make dependent on PERF_EVENTS

Browse source 
Arnd Bergmann reported:

  In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for
  newly added code in bpf_perf_event_read and bpf_perf_event_output
  whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:

  kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c: In function 'bpf_perf_event_read':
  kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:203:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'oncpu'
  if (event->oncpu != smp_processor_id() ||
           ^
  kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:204:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'pmu'
        event->pmu->count)

  This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
  is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
  about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
  adding Kconfig dependencies.

Looking at this further, it's really that UPROBE_EVENT enables PERF_EVENTS.
By just having BPF_EVENTS depend on PERF_EVENTS, then all is fine.
