perf fails to build with the following build error:
In file included from tests/vmlinux-kallsyms.c:8: util/dso.h:664:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'dso__put' [-Wmissing-prototypes] void dso__put(struct dso *dso) LOCKS_EXCLUDED(_dso__data_open_lock); ^~~~~~~~ util/dso.h: In function 'dso__put': util/dso.h:664:32: error: expected declaration specifiers before 'LOCKS_EXCLUDED' void dso__put(struct dso *dso) LOCKS_EXCLUDED(_dso__data_open_lock); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this is caused by commit 3e2cea6464884252284765fb48b00e56449ed63d ("perf dso: Use lock annotations to fix asan deadlock") we also need to backport c5ebf3a26601c833a3ea8c6035d4318445a7e3a5 ("perf mutex: Add annotations for LOCKS_EXCLUDED and LOCKS_RETURNED") here.
