Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tools: Disable __packed attribute compiler warning due
 to -Werror=attributes

Namhyung, I had to cherry pick this from perf-tools-next as I noticed it
was also failing when trying to build perf-tools/tmp.perf-tools + your
header sync series + Ian's ARM files missing in MANIFEST for the
detached tarball build.

With these patches I managed to complete 'make -C tools/perf build-test'
+ 'perf test' + my suite of perf build containers.

Noticed on several perf tools cross build test containers:

This comes from the kernel, where the -Wattributes and -Wpacked isn't
used, -Wpacked is already disabled, do it for the attributes as well.
