Subject: [PATCH 4.4 08/97] Revert "perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump"

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit b0761b57e0bf11ada4c45e68f4cba1370363d90d which is
commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 upstream.

It breaks the build of perf on 4.4.y, so I'm dropping it.
