4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

This reverts commit 7525a238be8f46617cdda29d1be5b85ffe3b042d which is commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 upstream.
It breaks the build of perf on 4.9.y, so I'm dropping it.
Sorry to hijack this thread, I was not able to find the original email when the offending patch was included in 4.1.52. So kernel 4.1.52 also has the same problem, can you push a 4.1.53 tag with that patch reverted as well?
4.1 is long end-of-life now, I'm not going to be going and updating a "dead' kernel for a perf build bug.
Meh, fair enough, I reverted the offending commit, it still points to a more fundamental problem, there is not always build testing of the tools being shipped with the kernel unfortunately.
You shouldn't be using this kernel either :)
Fortunately 4.9 is what we are mostly using these days, still getting occasional 4.1 kernel support requests unfortunately...
