[PATCH 3.16 358/366] tools include: Add a __fallthrough statement

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b5bf1733d6a391c4e90ea8f8468d83023be74a2a upstream.

For cases where implicit fall through case labels are intended,
to let us inform that to gcc >= 7:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/string.o
  util/string.c: In function 'perf_atoll':
  util/string.c:22:7: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
      if (*p)
         ^
  util/string.c:24:3: note: here
     case '\0':
     ^~~~

So we introduce:

  #define __fallthrough __attribute__ ((fallthrough))

And use it in such cases.
