I hit following building error randomly:
Random presumably because there is a race to use/create the directory by
different make jobs (i.e. -j option).

Yes, I use -j 160 :)

This is caused by tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/Build that, it tries to
generate $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c atomatically but
forget to ensure the existance of $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder directory.

This patch fixes it by adding $(call rule_mkdir) like other similar rules.
