[PATCH 09/17] perf report: Support data type profiling

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

Enable type annotation when the 'type' sort key is used.
It shows type of variables the samples access at the moment.
Users can see which types are accessed frequently.

  $ perf report -s dso,type --stdio
  ...
  # Overhead  Shared Object      Data Type
  # ........  .................  .........
  #
      35.47%  [kernel.kallsyms]  (unknown)
       1.62%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct sched_entry
       1.23%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct cfs_rq
       0.83%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct task_struct
       0.34%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct list_head
       0.30%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct mem_cgroup
  ...
