perf tools: Detect missing kernel features properly
The evsel__detect_missing_features() is to check if the attributes of the evsel is supported or not. But it checks the attribute based on the given evsel, it might miss something if the attr doesn't have the bit or give incorrect results if the event is special. Also it maintains the order of the feature that was added to the kernel which means it can assume older features should be supported once it detects the current feature is working. To minimized the confusion and to accurately check the kernel features, I think it's better to use a software event and go through all the features at once. Also make the function static since it's only used in evsel.c.
