Kajol Jain 9823ae6f68 perf bench breakpoint: Skip run if no breakpoints available
Based on commit 7d54a4acd8 ("perf test: Skip watchpoint tests if
no watchpoints available"), hardware breakpoints are not available for
power9 platform and because of that 'perf bench breakpoint' run fails on
power9 platform.

Add code to check for the return value of perf_event_open() in the
breakpoint run and skip the 'perf bench breakpoint' run, if hardware
breakpoints are not available.

Result on power9 system before patch changes:

  [command]# perf bench breakpoint thread
  perf_event_open: No such device

Result on power9 system after patch changes:

  [command]# ./perf bench breakpoint thread
  Skipping perf bench breakpoint thread: No hardware support

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
