[PATCH 2/4] perf record: Encode the domain while synthesizing MMAP events

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP events, the
ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused the MMAP events to
encode the module mapings we ended up adding them first to the list of
userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the kernel one (dsos__kernel).

Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it, like other
parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find.

The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc, which isn't
PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate, we put 1 in .misc.
