[PATCH v3 3/3] perf tool: add cgroup identifier entry in perf report

This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the unique
inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with the new
PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier. With the assumption
that each container is created with it's own cgroup namespace, this
allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at once.

Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted based on cgroup id, on
a system that was running three containers at the time of perf record
and clearly showing one of the containers' considerable use of kernel
memory in comparison with others:

$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 1K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
# Event count (approx.): 1828
#
# Overhead cgroup id Samples
# ........ .......... ............
