Rolf Neugebauer 06c857fb16 kernel: Fix perf compile on 4.11.x/4.9.x kernels
This cherry-picks 120010cb1eea151d38a3e66f5ffc79a0c3110292 ("tools build:
Add test for sched_getcpu()") which replaces a #ifdef based test with
a proper test for the sched_getcpu() function. The macro based condition
does not work on Alpine as it is conditional on GLIBC.

For 4.9 the cherry-pick needed some manual adjustment and also required
commit ef2c3e76d98dfb69a46d870b47656e8e5bac6e2b ("perf jit: Avoid returning
garbage for a ret variable")

See ../docs/kernel-patches.md for more information on kernel builds.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
