[PATCH v2 05/10] perf util: Parse header_page to get proper long size

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The header_page file describes the format of the ring buffer page
which is used by ftrace (not perf).  And size of "commit" field (I
guess it's older name was 'size') represents the real size of long
type used for kernel.  So update the pevent's long size.

It should read into header_page not buf.
