This breaks the build on 4.14 (and I believe 4.19 from the looks of it)
because the event variable is not available without
commit a0f08a6a9fee ("coresight: Communicate perf event to sink buffer
allocation functions") from upstream. I am not sure how this should be
fixed (either backporting the above commit or changing this one somehow)
but it should be dropped in the meantime.

Cheers,
Nathan
