Subject: [PATCH 4.4 122/137] perf regs: Make perf_reg_name() return "unknown" instead of NULL

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 5b596e0ff0e1852197d4c82d3314db5e43126bf7 ]

To avoid breaking the build on arches where this is not wired up, at
least all the other features should be made available and when using
this specific routine, the "unknown" should point the user/developer to
the need to wire this up on this particular hardware architecture.

Detected in a container mipsel debian cross build environment, where it
shows up as:

  In file included from /usr/mipsel-linux-gnu/include/stdio.h:867,
                   from /git/linux/tools/perf/lib/include/perf/cpumap.h:6,
