James Clark 6f31bb737e perf test: Make leafloop workload immune to compiler options ...

Since the leafloop test program was moved into the main Perf binary as a
workload, it inherited the same compiler options as Perf. In this case
the -fstack-protector option broke the assumption that simple leaf
frames don't have a stack frame on Arm. This causes
test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh to pass even if the stack isn't augmented with
the link register, making the test useless.

Fix it by rewriting the leaf function in assembly seeing as it's so
simple. Adding -fno-stack-protector would also work, but wouldn't be
robust against other future compiler option additions.

The local variables and 'a' variable were never needed so remove them to
simplify.
