Please run 'perf test' before sending patches upstream, I'm checking if
what is in perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next is building and I noticed
this:

⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ 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 2912462
python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.insert(0, '/tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python'); import perf" | '/usr/bin/python3' "
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: rlimit__increase_nofile
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$

The following patch cures it, Namhyung, can you please fold it and force
push perf-tools-next/perf-tools-next or let me know if you prefer that I
submit a patch fixing this separately.
