[PATCH v3 1/3] perf: Add perf_event_attr::bp_priv

[Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn>]

When developing hardware watchpoint on LoongArch, we want to set the
same privilege passed by the ptrace user data, but there is no bridge
to save this value like bp_addr, bp_type and bp_len. This is a common
issue for the archs which have privilege level of breakpoint.

Add a member "bp_priv" which lives in a union on config3 at the end
of the uapi struct perf_event_attr to make a bridge between ptrace
and hardware breakpoint.

This is preparation for later patch on some archs such as ARM, ARM64
and LoongArch which have privilege level of breakpoint.
