perf record: Split --data-mmap option
Currently -d/--data option controls both PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR bit and
perf_event_attr.mmap_data flag. Separate them using new --data-mmap
option to support recording only one of them.
For data-type profiling, data MMAP is unnecessary but it wastes a lot
of space in the ring buffer and data file.
Committer testing:
On an idle system:
root@x1:~# perf record -d -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.672 MB perf.data (1075 samples) ]
root@x1:~# ls -la perf.data
-rw-------. 1 root root 5982480 Dec 16 15:34 perf.data
root@x1:~# perf evlist -v
cpu_atom/cycles/P: type: 0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE), size: 144, config: 0xa00000000 (cpu_atom/PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES/), { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER|DATA_SRC, read_format: ID|LOST, disabled: 1, freq: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1

Now with just --data-mmap we will not save that much, as only DATA_SRC
will not be enabled in sample_type:
root@x1:~# perf record --data-mmap -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.576 MB perf.data (716 samples) ]
root@x1:~# ls -la perf.data

root@x1:~# perf evlist -v

root@x1:~#
To complete, just with DATA_SRC, no mmap_data:
root@x1:~# perf record --sample-mem-info -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.407 MB perf.data (1311 samples) ]
