perf build: Allow explicitely disabling the NO_SYSCALL_TABLE variable

This is useful to see if, on x86, the legacy libaudit still works, as it
is used in architectures that don't have the SYSCALL_TABLE logic and we
want to have it tested in 'make -C tools/perf/ build-test'.

E.g.:

Without having audit-libs-devel installed:

  $ make NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j12' parallel build
  <SNIP>
  Auto-detecting system features:
  <SNIP>
  ...                      libaudit: [ OFF ]
  ...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
  ...                        libcap: [ on  ]
  <SNIP>
  Makefile.config:664: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev
  <SNIP>

After installing it:

  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
  $ time make NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1 O=/tmp/build/perf  -C tools/perf install-bin ; perf test python
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j12' parallel build
    HOSTCC   /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
    HOSTLD   /tmp/build/perf/fixdep-in.o
    LINK     /tmp/build/perf/fixdep
