Here's the same patch but without the unnecessary addition of the
<linux/types.h> include.  Ideally it would be folded into

  "perf tools: Finalize subcmd independence"

but in case it's too late for that, I added a changelog.

Subject: [PATCH] tools subcmd: Fix 'u64' build error with older compilers

Arnaldo reported the following error when building perf on RHEL 6.7:

  parse-options.c:15: error: redefinition of typedef ‘u64’
  /home/acme/git/linux/tools/include/linux/types.h:28: note: previous declaration of ‘u64’ was here

The parse-options.c file includes <linux/compiler.h>, which includes
<linux/types.h>, which has a u64 typedef.  So the u64 typedef in
parse-options.c is unnecessary (and seems to trigger the above error on
compilers which don't allow duplicate typedefs).
