This patch depends on patch 18/27: "perf tools: Add BPF_PROLOGUE
config options for further patches" because I wanted to first create
the infrastructure then add regs_qurey_register_offset() arch by arch.

I think split 18/27 into two patch should be better. First one adds
HAVE_ARCH_REGS_QUERY_REGISTER_OFFSET, let the second one consider bpf 
prologue.

Thanks.
