Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Fix syscall table dependency error

Commit 42abeef7e8df ("perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from
kernel's syscall_64.tbl") introduces archheaders dependency. It is
added to 'prepare', but not added directly to libperf-in.o, causes
following error:

 $ make -C ./tools/perf/ O=/tmp/xxxxx/ /tmp/xxxxx/libperf-in.o JOBS=1
 make: Entering directory `/xx/xx/tools/perf'
 BUILD:   Doing 'make -j1' parallel build

 Auto-detecting system features:
 ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
 ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]

   make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/tmp/xxxxx/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c', needed by `/tmp/xxxxx/util/syscalltbl.o'.  Stop.
   make[2]: *** [util] Error 2

   make: *** [/tmp/xxxxx/libperf-in.o] Error 2
   make: Leaving directory `/home/w00229757/kernel-hydrogen/tools/perf'

In parallel building this missing dependency causes building error.

Add 'prepare' to libperf-in's dependency.
