Merge tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v6.18-2-2025-11-16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Fix writing bpf_prog (infos|btfs)_cnt to data file, to not generate
   invalid perf.data files in some corner cases.

 - Fix 'perf top' segfault by ensuring libbfd is initialized. This is an
   opt-in feature due to license incompatibilities.

 - Fix segfault in 'perf lock' due to missing kernel map.

 - Fix 'perf lock contention' test.

 - Don't fail fast path detection if binutils-devel isn't available.

 - Sync KVM's vmx.h with the kernel to pick SEAMCALL exit reason.
