Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Start the perf.data mapping at data offset in perf trace

Currently, we are mapping perf.data in the beginning of the file
and use the data offset as a buffer offset. This may exceed the
mapping area if the data offset is upper than page_size * mmap_window
and result in a page fault (thing that happen if we merge trace.info
in perf.data).

Instead, let's start the mapping in the page that matches our data
offset.
