Add an empty libperf.a under tools/perf/lib and link it with perf.
It can also be built separately with:
$ cd tools/perf/lib && make
CC core.o
LD libperf-in.o
AR libperf.a
LINK libperf.so
Committer testing:
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf/lib/
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/lib'
LINK /tmp/build/perf/libperf.so
make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/lib'

Committer notes:
Need to add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi
-I$(srctree)/tools/include/uapi to tools/perf/lib/Makefile's INCLUDE
variable to pick up the latest versions of kernel headers, even in older
systems, this is in line with what is in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile.
