perf build: Allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage
Currently the BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to the following:
do {
extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void)
__attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed")));
if (!(!(1)))
__compiletime_assert_0();
} while (0);
If used in a function body this would obviously produce build errors
with -Wnested-externs and -Werror.
To enable BUILD_BUG() usage in tools/arch/x86/lib/insn.c which perf
includes in intel-pt-decoder, build perf without -Wnested-externs.
