Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 1/4] perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms

This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:

 # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
 # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...

So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.

In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.

Basic result with and without inherit:

 # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
 [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio
 # ...
 # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
 # Event count (approx.): 23641752891
 ...
 # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
 # Event count (approx.): 30428312415


 # perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
 [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
 ...
 # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
 # Event count (approx.): 11699501775
 ...
 # Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
 # Event count (approx.): 15058023559

Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:

 # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
 [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
 ...
 # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
 # Event count (approx.): 11895759282
 ...
 # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
 # Event count (approx.): 30668000441

Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:

 # perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
 [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
 ...
 # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
 # Event count (approx.): 23285400229
 ...
 # Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
 # Event count (approx.): 14969050259
