Subject: [PATCH] tools/perf/build: Remove the volatile-register-var feature
 check

Namhyung Kim noticed that the volatile-register-var feature check
is superfluous:

 > The gcc manpage says this warning is enabled by -Wall, and we add -Wall
 > to CFLAGS before doing feature checks.  So all gcc versions that support
 > -Wvolatile-register-var enables it by default without this check and
 > older gcc versions will always fail the feature check.

Remove it - this will further speed up feature checks.
