[PATCH v1] perf build: Remove libtracefs configuration

From: Ian Rogers

Date: Mon Sep 29 2025 - 13:06:09 EST


libtracefs isn't used by perf but not having it installed causes build
warnings. Given the library isn't used, there is no need for the
configuration or warnings so remove.

Note, this patch was previously part of:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250823003216.733941-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/
but is self contained enough that it can be merged on its own.
