Subject: [PATCH 06/21] perf: Add event toggle ioctl interface

Adding new ioctl PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_TOGGLE to interface
the toggle settings for event.

This ioctl has 2 goals:
  - allowing the toggle event being part of the group
  - allowing to define toggle setting after event
    is created

The ioctl interface is:

  u64 args[2] = { toggled_fd, flag };
  err = ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_TOGGLE, args);

Where:
  toggled_fd - is file description of the event we want to toggle
  flag       - is one of PERF_FLAG_TOGGLE_ON|PERF_FLAG_TOGGLE_OFF
  err        -  0 when successful
               -1 otherwise with errno:
                  EBUSY  - event has already toggled event defined
                  EFAULT - could not copy user data
                  EINVAL - wrong data
