[PATCH] perf: Turn kernel address filters into linear address filters

[Alexander Shishkin]

One thing that the address filters can't do at the moment is cover
anonymous mappings. Apparently, there is code out there that generates
executable code in anonymous mappings and executes it in place. And at
the moment we only allow file-based address filters for userspace.

The easiest way to do this is to repurpose the kernel filters and allow
those to be used on userspace addresses. The Intel PT driver at the moment
does enforce that non-file-based filters are only used with kernel
addresses, so that needs to be corrected. The Coresight ETM driver doesn't
enforce that, so no changes needed there.

No tooling changes required, either.
