[PATCH 01/12] perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_PAGE_SIZE

Current perf can report both virtual address and physical address, but
it doesn't report page size. Users have no idea how large the utilized
page is. They cannot promote/demote large pages to optimize memory use.

Add a new sample type for data page size.

Current perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address.
A function, to retrieve page size by full page-table walk of a given
virtual address, is introduced for x86. Other architectures can
implement their own functions later separately.
The function must be IRQ-safe. For x86, disabling IRQs over the walk is
sufficient to prevent any tear down of the page tables.

The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.

Although only a few bits are needed to indicate the page size, a u64
type is still claimed for page_size. Because struct perf_sample_data
requires cacheline_aligned.

The large PEBS will be disabled with this sample type. Because we need
to track munmap to flush the PEBS buffer for large PEBS. Perf doesn't
support munmap tracking yet. The large PEBS can be enabled later
separately when munmap tracking is supported.
