[PATCH] perf tools: Move libtraceevent dynamic list to separated LDFLAGS variable

[PATCH] perf tools: Move libtraceevent dynamic list to separated LDFLAGS variable

[Wang Nan]

Commit e3d09ec8126fe2c9a3ade661e2126e215ca27a80 ("tools lib traceevent:
Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") adds libtraceevent
dynamic list directly into LDFLAGS, which makes all targets depend on
that list through LDFLAGS. This is not good since some of targets like
libgtk.so doesn't use plugin at all, but require the existance of that
list because of linker options.

This patch isolates the -Xlink option into LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC_LIST_LDFLAGS,
makes only perf and perf.so use it.
