[PATCH v2 1/4] perf build: Don't check difference of perf and libbpf hashmap

[Ian Rogers]

The hashmap code as-is violates the C specification meaning
-fno-strict-aliasing is required or fixes sent in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260321024446.692008-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/

We're looking to not build perf with -fno-strict-aliasing:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260320224248.536449-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/

There is also the continual problem with hashmap using errptrs rather
than errno introducing subtle bugs as shown in commits,
  d05073adda0f perf trace: Avoid an ERR_PTR in syscall_stats
  96f202eab813 perf trace: Fix IS_ERR() vs NULL check bug
  9f3c16a430e8 perf expr: Fix return value of ids__new()
but there are additional fixes on the mailing list.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250805063209.3678359-1-linmq006@xxxxxxxxx/

Let's allow the perf version of hashmap diverge from libbpf's so that
we can fix its issues.
