AFAICT this is the only usage of aux_action. But in a few patches time
you'll introduce a helper along the lines of has_aux_action() that tests
all the individual bits.

Combined with perf_copy_attr() ensuring __reserved_3 is actually 0, I'm
thinking that should all be enough to render this aux_action field
surplus to requirement, and we can simplify all this somewhat, no?
