Subject: [PATCH v2] perf tools: fix endian conversion reading event attr from file header

The perf_event_attr struct has 2 __u32's at the top and need to
be swapped individually. With this change I was able to analyze
a perf.data collected in a 32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I
tested both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for the Intel analysis
side; both read the PPC perf.data file correctly.

v1 -> v2:
- changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap to swap only elements
  of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the
  attributes in the file header
- updated swap_ops used for processing events
