Committer notes:

Added util/perf_regs.c to tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources so that
'perf test python' passes, i.e. the perf python binding has all the
symbols it needs, addressing:

  $ perf test -v python
   19: 'import perf' in python                                         :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 2037817
  python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.append('/tmp/build/perf/python'); import perf" | '/usr/bin/python3' "
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: arch__user_reg_mask
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
