This causes the following build error on 5.0:

    builtin-top.c: In function â__cmd_topâ:
    builtin-top.c:1241:3: error: label âout_deleteâ used but not defined
       goto out_delete;
       ^~~~
    builtin-record.c: In function ârecord__process_auxtraceâ:
    builtin-record.c:389:36: error: implicit declaration of function âperf_data__is_dirâ; did you mean âperf_data__is_pipeâ? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      if (!perf_data__is_pipe(data) && !perf_data__is_dir(data)) {
                                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                        perf_data__is_pipe
    builtin-record.c:389:36: error: nested extern declaration of âperf_data__is_dirâ [-Werror=nested-externs]

Dropping the patch solves this error, though there is a second perf
related build error in this RC caused by 2c0bd03b5d20 ("perf top: Delete
the evlist before perf_session, fixing heap-use-after-free issue").
