File perf-top-remove-lost-events-checking.patch of Package perf

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>

Subject: perf top: Remove lost events checking
Git-commit: a1ff5b05e988ca3620027148cd61013408ea4194
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc2
References: FATE#325579

There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing
the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot
and could be tolerated by 'perf top'.

Remove the lost events checking.
