perf fails to build on ARM, ARM64 and MIPS with:

fixdep: error opening depfile:

this is caused by 653fc524e350b62479529140dc9abef05abbcc29 ("perf build:
Update build rule for generated files"). Reverting that commit plus
5804de1f2324ddcfe3f0b6ad58fcfe4d344e0471 ("perf jevents: Switch build to
use jevents.py") gets us going again.
