Subject: [PATCH] perf_events: sysctl: Avoid unused one_thousand definition

From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@...osinc.com>

The variable "one_thousand" is only used under CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y, but
is unconditionally defined.  This can fire a warning.

Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@...osinc.com>

I went with an #ifdef instead of a __maybe_unused because that's what
the other code is using, and I left the one_thousand in order despite
that requiring another #ifdef.
