Subject: [BUG PATCH] perf: kvm - finding struct machine fails for
 PERF_RECORD_MMAP

From: Nikunj A. Dadhania <nikunj@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Running 'perf kvm --host --guest --guestmount /tmp/guestmount record -a -g -- sleep 2'

Was resulting in a segfault. For event type PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
event->ip.pid is being used in perf_session__find_machine_for_cpumode,
which is not correct.

event->ip.pid happens to be 0 in this case and results in returning a
NULL machine object. Finally, access to self->pid in
machine__mmap_name, results in a segfault later.

For PERF_RECORD_MMAP type, pass event->mmap.pid.
