[PATCH 2/9] perf tools: Add precise object to interface sysfs precise

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding precise util object to get maximum value for
perf_event_attr::precise_ip. The value is exported
via sysfs file '/sys/devices/cpu/precise'.

The interface is:
  int perf_precise__get(void)

Returns:
  maximum value allowed for perf_event_attr::precise_ip
  -1 if we failed to read the sysfs attribute or
     sysfs attribute is not found (supported)
