[PATCH 3/3] perf/core: Save calculated sample data size

[Namhyung Kim]

To avoid duplicate work in perf_prepare_sample(), save the final header
size in data->saved_size.  It's initialized to 0 and set to an actual
value at the end of perf_prepare_sample().

If it sees a non-zero value that means it's the second time of the call
and it knows the sample data is populated already.  So update the header
size with the data->saved_size and bail out.
