Subject: perf tools: Add empty Build files for architectures lacking them

From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>

commit 93df8a1ed6231727c5db94a80b1a6bd5ee67cec3 upstream.

perf currently fails to build on MIPS as there is no tools/perf/arch/mips/Build file. Adding an empty file fixes this as there are no MIPS-specific sources to build.

It looks like the same is needed for Alpha and PA-RISC, though I haven't been able to test those.

Fixes 5e8c0fb6a957 ("perf build: Add arch x86 objects building")
