perf trace: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership

Enable perf trace to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root.

Example:

 # perf trace record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4153101 Apr  2 15:28 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

 # perf trace -i perf.data
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf trace -i perf.data -f
   Error: unknown switch `f'

  usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
     or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
     or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
     or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

         --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
 						  available events
         --comm            show the thread COMM next to its id
         --tool_stats      show tool stats
     -e, --expr <expr>     list of events to trace
     -o, --output <file>   output file name
     -i, --input <file>    Analyze events in file
     -p, --pid <pid>       trace events on existing process id
     -t, --tid <tid>       trace events on existing thread id
         --filter-pids <float>
  ...

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.

After this patch:

 # perf trace -i perf.data
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf trace -i perf.data -f

 0.220 ( 0.007 ms): ls/47325 open(filename: 0x7f312599e8ff,       ...
 ...
 ...

As shown above, the -f option really works now.
