LKFT have noticed these warnings / errors when we have updated gcc version from
gcc-9 to gcc-11 on stable-rc linux-5.4.y branch. I have provided the steps to
reproduce in this email below.

Following perf builds failed with gcc-11 with linux-5.4.y branch.
- build-arm-gcc-11-perf
- build-arm64-gcc-11-perf
- build-i386-gcc-11-perf
- build-x86-gcc-11-perf
