[PATCH 32/43] tools lib: Adopt strim() from the kernel

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since we're working on moving stuff out of tools/perf/util/ to
tools/lib/, take the opportunity to adopt routines from the kernel that
are equivalent, so that tools/ code look more like the kernel.
