Subject: perf/core: Prepare perf_event.h for new types: 'perf_kprobe' and
'perf_uprobe'
Git-commit: 65074d43fc77bcae32776724b7fa2696923c78e4
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
References: References: FATE#326782, bsc#1115391

Two new perf types, perf_kprobe and perf_uprobe, will be added to allow
creating [k,u]probe with perf_event_open. These [k,u]probe are associated
with the file decriptor created by perf_event_open(), thus are easy to
clean when the file descriptor is destroyed.
kprobe_func and uprobe_path are added to union config1 for pointers to
function name for kprobe or binary path for uprobe.
kprobe_addr and probe_offset are added to union config2 for kernel
address (when kprobe_func is NULL), or [k,u]probe offset.
