perf tests shell: Fixed shellcheck warnings

Fixed the shellcheck warnings in buildid.sh, record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh
and record+script_probe_vfs_getname.sh perf shell scripts:

1. Prefer [ p ] && [ q ] as [ p -a q ] is not well defined.
2. Prefer [ p ] || [ q ] as [ p -o q ] is not well defined.
3. Used * argument to avoid the argument mixes string and array
4. Resolved issue for variable refernce, where the variable is
being used before it has been initialized.
5. Resolved word splitting issue (syntax error).
6. The "err" variable has been removed from buildid.sh since
it is not used anywhere in the code.

perf tests shell: Fix check for libtracevent support

Test “Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames” fails in
environment with missing libtraceevent support as below:

82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 304726
Recording open file:
event syntax error: 'probe:vfs_getname*'
\___ unsupported tracepoint

libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
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
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: FAILED!

The environment has debuginfo but is missing the libtraceevent devel.

Hence perf is compiled without libtraceevent support. The test tries to
add probe “probe:vfs_getname” and then uses it with “perf record”. This
fails at function “parse_events_add_tracepoint" due to missing
libtraceevent.

Similarly "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" test slso
fails with same reason.

Add a function in 'perf test shell' library to check if perf record with
—dry-run reports any error on missing support for libtraceevent. Update
both the tests to use this new function “skip_no_probe_record_support”
before proceeding With using probe point via perf builtin record.

With the change,

82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 305014
Recording open file:
libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: Skip

81: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 305036
libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Skip

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

perf test: Allow multiple probes in record+script_probe_vfs_getname.sh

Sometimes when adding a kprobe by perf, it results in multiple probe

# ./perf probe -l

p:probe/vfs_getname_2 _text+5508396 pathname=+0(+0(%gpr31)):string

In this test, we need to record all of them and expect any of them in
the perf-script output, since it's not clear which one will be used for
the desired syscall:

# perf stat -e probe:vfs_getname\* -- touch /tmp/nic

Performance counter stats for 'touch /tmp/nic':

31 probe:vfs_getname_2
0 probe:vfs_getname_1
1 probe:vfs_getname
0.001421826 seconds time elapsed

0.001506000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

If the test relies only on probe:vfs_getname, it might easily miss the
relevant data.
