perf/core: Drop __weak attribute from arch_perf_update_userpage() prototype

Reiji reports that the arm64 implementation of arch_perf_update_userpage()
is now ignored and replaced by the dummy stub in core code.
This seems to happen since the PMUv3 driver was moved to driver/perf.

As it turns out, dropping the __weak attribute from the *prototype*
of the function solves the problem. You're right, this doesn't seem
to make much sense. And yet... It appears that both symbols get
flagged as weak, and that the first one to appear in the link order
wins:

$ nm drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.o|grep arch_perf_update_userpage
0000000000001db0 W arch_perf_update_userpage

Dropping the attribute from the prototype restores the expected
behaviour, and arm64 is able to enjoy arch_perf_update_userpage()
again.
