The unquoted glob *.json will expand to a real file if, for example,
there is any file in the Perf source ending in .json. This can happen
when using tools like Bear and clangd which generate a
compile_commands.json file. With the glob already expanded by the shell,
the find command will fail to wildcard any real json events files.
Fix it by wrapping the star in quotes so it's passed to find rather than
the shell.
This fixes the following build error (most of the diff output omitted):
$ make V=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf_build_with_json
TEST /tmp/perf_build_with_json/pmu-events/empty-pmu-events.log

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
