Namhyung Kim 0d68bc92c4 perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also 
The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation only
for SLAB objects.  This patch implement a simple page allocator analyzer
using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem:mm_page_free events.

It adds two new options of --slab and --page.  The --slab option is for
analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does.

The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel
memory usage in page unit.  Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is
implemented only.

If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied.

First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file:

  # perf kmem record --page sleep 5

Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file:

  # perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10
