[PATCH 10/19] perf header: Add check for unexpected use of reserved membrs in event attr

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The perf.data may be generated by a newer version of perf tool, which
support new input bits in attr, e.g. new bit for branch_sample_type.

The perf.data may be parsed by an older version of perf tool later.  The
old perf tool may parse the perf.data incorrectly. There is no warning
message for this case.

Current perf header never check for unknown input bits in attr.

When read the event desc from header, check the stored event attr.  The
reserved bits, sample type, read format and branch sample type will be
checked.
