perf bpf: Mute libbpf when '-v' not set

According to [1], libbpf should be muted. This patch reset info and
warning message level to ensure libbpf doesn't output anything even
if error happened.

Committer note:

Before:

Testing it with an incompatible kernel version in the .c file that
generated foo.o:

[root@zoo ~]# perf record -e /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
libbpf:

libbpf: -- END LOG --
libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[root@zoo ~]#

After:

[root@zoo ~]# perf record -e /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[root@zoo ~]#

This, BTW, need fixing to emit a proper message by validating the
version in the foo.o "version" ELF section against the running kernel,
warning the user instead of asking the kernel to load a binary that it
will refuse due to unmatching kernel version.
