Debian's scripted perf wrapper does not work when run in Docker on a non Debian/Ubuntu host. Specifically it insists on a Debian kernel and perf matching its own naming scheme, and the kernel is an impossibility on eg RH. We don't need kernel symbols, just the userland interface, so any close 'linux-tools-*-generic' will work. Extend the script wrapper to look for these close matches, and install it when building Dockerfile.worker
