perf test: Remove now useless failing sub test "BPF relocation checker"
For some time now the 'perf test 42: BPF filter' returns an error on bpf relocation subtest, at least on x86 and s390. This is caused by d859900c ("bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections") which introduces support for global variables in eBPF programs. Perf test 42.4 checks that the eBPF relocation fails when the eBPF program contains a global variable. It returns OK when the eBPF program could not be loaded and FAILED otherwise. With above commit the test logic for the eBPF relocation is obsolete. The loading of the eBPF now succeeds and the test always shows FAILED. This patch removes the sub test completely. Also a lot of eBPF program testing is done in the eBPF test suite, it also contains tests for global variables.
