Subject: [PATCH 12/14] perf header: Add is_perf_magic() func

From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@...el.com>

With this function, other modules can basically check whether a file is
a legal perf data file by checking its first 8 bytes against all
possible perf magic numbers.

Change the function name from check_perf_magic to more meaningful
is_perf_magic as suggested by acme.
