When make perf with -O, it gets error when make clean with below log:

 $ make -C tools/perf O=<output/dir> # OK
 $ make -C tools/perf O=<output/dir>
    find: cannot delete ‘<output/dir>/builtin-script.o’: No such file or directory
    find: cannot delete ‘<output/dir>/.subcmd-config.o.cmd’: No such file or directory
    ...
    Makefile:38: recipe for target 'clean' failed
    make[2]: *** [clean] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [fixdep-clean] Error 2
    Makefile:90: recipe for target 'clean' failed
    make: *** [clean] Error 2

It happens because both fixdep-clean and libsubcmd-clean will delete
files by `find`, where libsubcmd-clean uses `| xargs $(RM)` and
fixdep-clean uses `-delete`.
When a file is find by fixdep-clean, and tries to delete it, it's found
that the file does not exist because it is deleted by libsubcmd-clean.

This commit changes the delete method of fixdep-clean to use
`| xargs $(RM)` as well, where RM is defined as `rm -f` so it does not
return error when file does not exist.
