perf fails to build with:

util/arm-spe.c: In function 'arm_spe__inject_event':
util/arm-spe.c:472:37: error: 'struct perf_sample' has no member named 
'evsel'
   472 |         struct evsel *evsel = sample->evsel;
       |                                     ^~

due to commit ca625699a8d5ddea7213231f090dab1e0ec0380c ("perf event: Fix 
size of synthesized sample with branch stacks"), it looks like we need 
to backport aeae075a0352eb6ab363fb1910f209eaa296a175 ("perf sample: Add 
evsel to struct perf_sample")
