[PATCH v4 6/8] perf header: Add is_perf_magic() func

[Feng Tang]

With this function, other modules can basically check whether a
file is a legal perf data file by checking its first 8 bytes
against all possible perf magic numbers.

Change the function name from check_perf_magic to more meaningful
is_perf_magic as suggested by acme.
