  To address this grep 3.8 warning:

  grep: warning: stray \ before #

We needed to remove the '' around the grep expression and keep the \
before # so that it is escaped by the $(shell grep ...) and thus doesn't
get to grep.

We need that \ before the #, otherwise we get this:

  Makefile.perf:364: *** unterminated call to function 'shell': missing ')'.  Stop.

As everything after the # will be considered a comment.

Removing the single quotes needs some more escaping so that _some_ of
the escaped chars gets to grep, like the '\|' that becomes '\\\|´.

Running on debian:10, where there is no libtraceevent-devel available,
we get:

  Makefile.perf:367: *** PYTHON_EXT_SRCS= util/python.c ../lib/ctype.c util/cap.c util/evlist.c util/evsel.c util/evsel_fprintf.c util/perf_event_attr_fprintf.c util/cpumap.c util/memswap.c util/mmap.c util/namespaces.c ../lib/bitmap.c ../lib/find_bit.c ../lib/list_sort.c ../lib/hweight.c ../lib/string.c ../lib/vsprintf.c util/thread_map.c util/util.c util/cgroup.c util/parse-branch-options.c util/rblist.c util/counts.c util/print_binary.c util/strlist.c ../lib/rbtree.c util/string.c util/symbol_fprintf.c util/units.c util/affinity.c util/rwsem.c util/hashmap.c util/perf_regs.c util/fncache.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_aarch64.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_arm.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_csky.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_loongarch.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_mips.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_powerpc.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_riscv.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_s390.c util/perf-regs-arch/perf_regs_x86.c.

I.e. both the comments and the util/trace-event.c were removed.

When using:

msg := $(error PYTHON_EXT_SRCS=$(PYTHON_EXT_SRCS))

While on the more recent fedora:38, with the new grep and make packages
and libtraceevent-devel installed:

I.e. only the comments were removed.
