We sometimes make a test for an issue then fix it, so the new test fails,
but is fixed in a subsequent patch.  If you read the commit it says as much:

commit f178a76b054fd046d212c3c67745146ff191a443

    perf dlfilter: Add a test for resolve_address()
    
    Extend the "dlfilter C API" test to test
    perf_dlfilter_fns.resolve_address(). The test currently fails, but passes
    after a subsequent patch.

The fix is:
