perf sched broken on tip, bisected

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org>]

While testing a patch series I'm working on I noticed that 'perf sched record ;
perf sched latency' is broken on tip, bisected it down to this cset, investigating...

    perf tools: Add __data_loc support
    
    This patch is required to test the next patch for perf lock.
    
    At 064739bc4b3d7f424b2f25547e6611bcf0132415 ,
    support for the modifier "__data_loc" of format is added.
    
    But, when I wanted to parse format of lock_acquired (or some
    event else), raw_field_ptr() did not returned correct pointer.
    
    So I modified raw_field_ptr() like this patch. Then
    raw_field_ptr() works well.
