Subject: [PATCH] perf: disable mmap2 support
This patch disables the mmap2 record format support
for now. The support needs a bit more work to cover
VM_CLONE cases.
The patch leaves attr->mmap2 defined, but returns
an error if it is set. That ensures no PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
record can be generated. Yet it minimizes the reverts in
the perf tool.
