Subject: [PATCH 3.18 25/25] Revert "perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump"

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

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

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

This reverts commit 091b3b4ba55daf8b28f40794aefdaa0bdb5af7a1 which is
commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 upstream.

It breaks the build of perf on 3.18.y, so I'm dropping it.
