I'm seeing the following build error as a result of this patch being
backported to 5.0:

builtin-top.c: In function â__cmd_topâ:
builtin-top.c:1241:3: error: label âout_deleteâ used but not defined
goto out_delete;
^~~~
CC builtin-script.o

Dropping this patch from 5.0 (along with ad59b96f965a ("perf data: Don't store
auxtrace index for directory data file") does fix the perf build.
