[PATCH 07/12] perf tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to redirect the debug
log into a file. Currently it's always forced to the message line.

Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be easily redirected.

Example:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf --debug stderr report -vv 2> /tmp/debug
  [root@zoo ~]# tail /tmp/debug
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  Using /root/.debug/.build-id/4e/841948927029fb650132253642d5dbb2c1fb93 for symbols
