[PATCH] perf: Fix clean error

From: Lei YU
Date: Sun Aug 26 2018 - 22:34:37 EST


When make perf with -O, it gets error when make clean with below log:

$ make -C tools/perf O=<output/dir> # OK
$ make -C tools/perf O=<output/dir>
find: cannot delete â<output/dir>/builtin-script.oâ: No such file or directory
find: cannot delete â<output/dir>/.subcmd-config.o.cmdâ: No such file or directory
...
Makefile:38: recipe for target 'clean' failed
make[2]: *** [clean] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fixdep-clean] Error 2
Makefile:90: recipe for target 'clean' failed
make: *** [clean] Error 2

It happens because both fixdep-clean and libsubcmd-clean will delete
files by `find`, where libsubcmd-clean uses `| xargs $(RM)` and
fixdep-clean uses `-delete`.
When a file is find by fixdep-clean, and tries to delete it, it's found
that the file does not exist because it is deleted by libsubcmd-clean.

This commit changes the delete method of fixdep-clean to use
`| xargs $(RM)` as well, where RM is defined as `rm -f` so it does not
return error when file does not exist.
