[PATCH v5] bcc: Try use new API to create [k,u]probe with perf_event_open

[Song Liu]

New kernel API allows creating [k,u]probe with perf_event_open.
This patch tries to use the new API. If the new API doesn't work,
we fall back to old API.

bpf_detach_probe() looks up the event being removed. If the event
is not found, we skip the clean up procedure.
