[PATCH v1 09/14] perf build: Move libsymbol dependency out of prepare step

[Ian Rogers]

The prepare step is a large serialization point before parallel
sub-makes build the perf tool. The libsymbol headers are used in the
bench and util libraries. Move the libsymbol dependency out of the
prepare step and into the dependencies for those targets to avoid it
being a source of serialization in the prepare step.
