[PATCH 12/28] perf augmented_syscalls: Remove example hardcoded set of filtered pids

Now that 'perf trace' fills in that "filtered_pids" BPF map, remove the
set of filtered pids used as an example to test that feature.

That feature works like this:

Starting a system wide 'strace' like 'perf trace' augmented session we
noticed that lots of events take place for a pid, which ends up being
the feedback loop of perf trace's syscalls being processed by the
'gnome-terminal' process:

# perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
0.391 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f750bc, count: 8176) = 453
0.394 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f75280, count: 7724) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
0.438 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 4<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffc696aeb0, count: 16) = 8
0.519 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f75280, count: 7724) = 114
0.522 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f752f1, count: 7611) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
^C

So we can use --filter-pids to get rid of that one, and in this case what is
being used to implement that functionality is that "filtered_pids" BPF map that
the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c created and that 'perf trace'
bpf loader noticed and created a "struct bpf_map" associated that then got populated
by 'perf trace':

# perf trace --filter-pids 2469 -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
0.020 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-shell/1663 epoll_pwait(epfd: 12<anon_inode:[eventpoll]>, events: 0x7ffd8f3ef960, maxevents: 32, sigsetsize: 8) = 1
0.025 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-shell/1663 read(fd: 24</dev/input/event4>, buf: 0x560c01bb8240, count: 8112) = 48
0.029 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-shell/1663 read(fd: 24</dev/input/event4>, buf: 0x560c01bb8258, count: 8088) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
0.032 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-shell/1663 read(fd: 24</dev/input/event4>, buf: 0x560c01bb8240, count: 8112) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable

21.581 ( 0.006 ms): gnome-shell/1663 ioctl(fd: 8</dev/dri/card0>, cmd: DRM_I915_GEM_BUSY, arg: 0x7ffd8f3ef060) = 0

^C

Oops, yet another gnome process that is involved with the output that
'perf trace' generates, lets filter that out too:

Several syscall exit events for syscalls in flight when 'perf trace' started, etc. Saner :-)
