Update perf tool

[david]

Since the binutils update from 2.37 to 2.40, perf fails to start:

$ sudo perf stat sleep 5
perf: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.37.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So update to the version of our default Linux kernel.

Resolves: #2871

Tested on folsomprisonblues:

@folsomprisonblues:~$ sudo perf stat sleep 5
