When working natively on arm64 the compiler gets pesky and complains
that variable 'i' is uninitialised, something that breaks the
compilation.  Here no further checks are needed since variable 'found_spe'
can only be true if variable 'i' has been initialised as part of the for
loop.

FWIW, I've only seen this on ARCH=arm64 builds with gcc versions less
than 5, i.e, 4.8.5.

It'd be nice to include the full compiler error message, to help users
searching for how to fix the error.

Cc'ing me and adding a:

Fixes: ffd3d18c20b8 ("perf tools: Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support")

line would also be nice.

Other than those nits:
