perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure
The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call,
checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept
calls and do the checking.
But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are
linked on the python binding, breaking it:
# perf test -v 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled
---- end ----
Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and
providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only
linked in the python binding.
Now 'perf test' is happy again:
# perf test 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok
