Building perf with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC (ie not the default static linking
of libbpf with perf) is breaking as the libbpf isn't version 1.7 or
newer, where dont_enable is added to bpf_perf_event_opts. To avoid
this breakage add a compile time version check and don't declare the
variable when not present.
