linux-yocto/3.10: fix long perf compile times
perf's builtin-sched.c triggers extremly long build times on some
architectures due to gcc 4.7+ var-tracking functionality.
To fix this, we can cherry pick the 3.12 commit:
f36f83f94 [perf sched: Move struct perf_sched definition out of cmd_sched()]
With this change build times are reduced from 15 to 20 minutes for qemuarm to:
real 2m19.940s
user 1m35.438s
sys 0m11.165s
For kernel's that are not carrying this patch, the following can be added
to the perf recipe to also fix the issue:
