perf tools: Enable libtracefs dynamic linking

Currently libtracefs isn't used by perf, but there are potential improvements by using it as identified Steven Rostedt's e-mail: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ This change is modelled on the dynamic libtraceevent patch by Michael Petlan: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/[email protected]/ v3. Adds file missed in v1 and v2 spotted by Jiri Olsa.
