[PATCH 1/8] perf/core: Save the dynamic parts of sample data size

[Namhyung Kim]

The perf sample data can be divided into parts.  The event->header_size
and event->id_header_size keep the static part of the sample data which
is determined by the sample_type flags.

But other parts like CALLCHAIN and BRANCH_STACK are changing dynamically
so it needs to see the actual data.  In preparation of handling repeated
calls for perf_prepare_sample(), it can save the dynamic size to the
perf sample data to avoid the duplicate work.
