[PATCH v3 4/9] perf build: Disable thread safety analysis for perl header

When build with perl5, it reports error:

    In file included from /usr/lib/perl5/5.42.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h:7933:
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.42.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/inline.h:298:5: error:

The error is caused by perl header but not perf code, disable thread
safety analysis if including the header.

Though GCC does not support the thread safety analysis option, this
negative warning flag is silently ignored by it.
