Subject: [PATCH] perf_events: sysctl: Avoid unused one_thousand definition

From: Palmer Dabbelt <[email protected]>

The variable "one_thousand" is only used under CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y, but
is unconditionally defined. This can fire a warning.

I went with an #ifdef instead of a __maybe_unused because that's what
the other code is using, and I left the one_thousand in order despite
that requiring another #ifdef.

Please use linux-next, this has changed quite a bit there.
You can git grep for SYSCTL_ONE_THOUSAND.
