Greg has queued 7a490187f22b for 7.1 (ordered right before the
perf-sched patch), so this is resolved for -rc2.

The other two perf build errors reported in this thread are covered as
well: the libdw.c inline_node__clear_frames() failure is fixed by
674dea094ef6 ("perf srcline: Introduce inline_node__clear_frames()"),
which is now also queued.

Thorsten's third error ('evsel' undeclared in
perf_session__deliver_event at util/session.c) doesn't apply to the
queue itself: that code block comes from upstream a2e59fb79f449f
("perf session: Bound nr_cpus_avail and validate sample CPU"), which
isn't queued for 7.1. His local cherry-pick of 7a490187f22b pulled in
that surrounding context without the evsel declaration; the backport
in the queue doesn't carry it. I verified the current queue's
perf_session__deliver_event has no evsel reference and that perf from
the current 7.1 queue builds cleanly, so -rc2 should be good.
