Song Liu c952b35f4b perf header: Assign proper ff->ph in perf_event__synthesize_features()
bpf/btf write_* functions need ff->ph->env.

With this missing, pipe-mode (perf record -o -)  would crash like:

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This patch assign proper ph value to ff.

Committer testing:

  (gdb) run record -o -
  Starting program: /root/bin/perf record -o -
  PERFILE2
  <SNIP start of perf.data headers>
  Thread 1 "perf" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

After the patch the SEGSEGV is gone.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
