Changes in v6:
 - Make patches bisectable

Changes in v5:
 - Delete unnecessary copy in BPF program
 - Remove sample_embed from perf header, hard code off-cpu stuff instead
 - Move evsel__is_offcpu_event() to evsel.h
 - Minor changes to the test
 - Edit some comments

Changes in v4:
 - Minimize the size of data output by perf_event_output()
 - Keep only one off-cpu event
 - Change off-cpu threshold's unit to microseconds
 - Set a default off-cpu threshold
 - Print the correct error message for the field 'embed' in perf data header

Changes in v3:
 - Add off-cpu-thresh argument
 - Process direct off-cpu samples in post

Changes in v2:
 - Remove unnecessary comments.
 - Rename function off_cpu_change_type to off_cpu_prepare_parse

v1:

As mentioned in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207323

Currently, off-cpu samples are dumped when perf record is exiting. This
results in off-cpu samples being after the regular samples. This patch
series makes possible dumping off-cpu samples on-the-fly, directly into
perf ring buffer. And it dispatches those samples to the correct format
for perf.data consumers.

Before:
