There is a problem, the target perf executable is dependent on
the dynamic-list-file, so we should add plugins or the
dynamic-list-file to perf's dependencies.

As your patch below, the dynamic-list-file is built implictly
when building plugins, so we should not add it directly to the
dependency list of perf.

It seems new targets are needed. In the v2 patch,
dynamic-list-file is extracted out from plugins as perf's
dependncy.
