[PATCH 1/6] perf: Add new type PERF_TYPE_PROBE

[Song Liu]

A new perf type PERF_TYPE_PROBE is added to allow creating [k,u]probe
with perf_event_open. These [k,u]probe are associated with the file
decriptor created by perf_event_open, thus are easy to clean when
the file descriptor is destroyed.

Struct probe_desc and two flags, is_uprobe and is_return, are added
to describe the probe being created with perf_event_open.

Note: We use type __u64 for pointer probe_desc instead of __aligned_u64.
The reason here is to avoid changing the size of struct perf_event_attr,
and breaking new-kernel-old-utility scenario. To avoid alignment problem
with the pointer, we will (in the following patches) copy probe_desc to
__aligned_u64 before using it as pointer.
