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.
