When libelf is disabled in the configuration, we get the following
linker error:
LINK libperf-jvmti.so
ld: cannot find -lelf
Makefile.perf:515: recipe for target 'libperf-jvmti.so' failed
Jiri pointed out that both librt and libelf are not really required. So
this patch fixes the linker error by getting rid of unwanted libraries
in the linker stage.
Fixes: d4dfdf00d43e ("perf jvmti: Plug compilation into perf build")
