Its related:

[acme@quaco perf]$ perf test -v python
Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
 14: 'import perf' in python                                         :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 1669872
python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.append('/tmp/build/perf/python'); import perf" | '/usr/bin/python3' "
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: tep_unload_plugins
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!
[acme@quaco perf]$

Now checking why NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 fails with this...

[acme@quaco perf]$ find tools/perf/ -name "*.c" | xargs grep tep_unload_plugins
tools/perf/util/trace-event.c:	tep_unload_plugins(t->plugin_list, t->pevent);
[acme@quaco perf]$

[acme@quaco perf]$ grep trace-event tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
util/trace-event.c
[acme@quaco perf]$

Trying to fix...
