#1289540 — perf test bpf on older kernels

Hi Wang,

	While testing on a machine with an older kernel I noticed this:

[root@felicio ~]# perf test bpf
37: Test BPF filter                                          :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : FAILED!
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Skip
[root@felicio ~]#

Test BPF filter subtest 1: Skip
[root@felicio ~]# 

So what happens is that the kernel doesn't have the feature you're
trying to test, I think in this case the test should just pass with
"Skip", not FAILED, that should be reserved for kernel tests for when
the kernel supports a feature that then fails to work as advertised, ok?
