perf failed to compile with following errors at compilation.

There is no definition for evlist__cancel_workload

Commit which need to be reverted.
b7e5c59f3b09 perf test: Don't leak workload gopipe in PERF_RECORD_*

This is already being reverted in the latest -rc release, does that not
work here for you?

I think saw, this error on v5.15.196-rc1, When I rechecked on v5.15.196-rc2, It was fixed as "perf test: Don't leak workload gopipe in PERF_RECORD_*" was reverted, had confirmed same on revert of rc2 release.
