perf test failing for "sample parsing"

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>]

Andi,

	I should've caught this when processing those patches, but
please consider running 'perf test' before and after your future patch
kits :-)

[root@sandy ~]# perf test 22
22: Test sample parsing                                    : FAILED!
[root@sandy ~]# perf test -v 22
22: Test sample parsing                                    :
--- start ---
sample format has changed - test needs updating
---- end ----
Test sample parsing: FAILED!
[root@sandy ~]#

	So I bisected it down to:

  commit fdfbbd07e91f8fe387140776f3fd94605f0c89e5

      perf: Add generic transaction flags
    
      Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
      type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
      for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
      due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
      CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.

	So I looked at tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c for the "Test sample parsing"
string and found the test__sample_parsing function, and fixed it there,
patches sent to my perf/core branch.

	This one was harmless, but there were problems that were caught
by running 'perf test' while writing patchkits,

Thanks,
