[PATCH] perf build: Do not fail on missing Build file

[Jiri Olsa]

Allow nesting into directories without Build file. Currently we
force include of the Build file, which fails the build when the
Build file is missing.

We already support empty *-in.o' objects if there's nothing in
the directory to be compiled, so we can just use it for missing
Build file cases.

Also adding this case under tests.

perf build: Do not fail on missing Build file

Allow nesting into directories without Build file. Currently we force
include of the Build file, which fails the build when the Build file is
missing.

We already support empty *-in.o' objects if there's nothing in the
directory to be compiled, so we can just use it for missing Build file
cases.

Also adding this case under tests.
