[RFC PATCH] perf: parse-events: Fix compilation error while defining DEBUG_PARSER

From: Clément Le Goffic
Date: Wed Jun 05 2024 - 10:26:48 EST


Compiling perf tool with 'DEBUG_PARSER=1' leads to errors:

$> make -C tools/perf PARSER_DEBUG=1 NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1

cc-1: all warnings being treated as errors

Remove extern declaration from the parse-envents.c file as there is a
conflict with the ones generated using bison and yacc tools from the file
parse-events.[ly].

I don't know how bison and yacc work together.
To me if those symbols are already generated (I don't know how), we
should get rid of them in the source file `parse-events.c`.
For my knowledge, if someone has the explanation of how they are
generated, I am interested as I didn't find any link to some part of
parse-events.[yl] files.
