Subject: [RFC] perf tools: Add hugetlbfs memory recognition

Maps for JIT is helpful for symbols-parsing for anon-executable-memory.
What we need to do is to add (START, SIZE, symbolname) to /tmp/perf-%d.map
(%d = pid of process), and perf would parse symbol located in this area
according to /tmp/perf-%d.map. It works well for normal mmap.

However, when we alloc such memory from hugetlbfs by the following code:

......

    fd = open("/mnt/huge/hugepagefile", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0755);
    if (fd < 0) {
        perror("Open failed");
        exit(1);
    }   
    addr = mmap(ADDR, LENGTH, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE |     \   
        PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); 

......
where hugetlbfs is mounted in /mnt/huge. Symbols could not be parsed correctly:

#perf report
   86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  hugepagefile      [.] 0xffffffe00000005c      
   86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  hugepagefile      [.] 0xffffffe0000000ac

This is because such mmap area's file backed is "/mnt/huge/hugepagefile", a node 
in pseudo filesystem, it is useless for symbol-parsing. so wo had better recognize 
such hugetlbfs area, and rename it's filename to /tmp/perf-%d.map, just as anon-memory
and no_dso_memory do. 

This patch imports a new function named is_hugetlb_memory to check if this memory
is from hugetlbfs. If true, change its name.  

After this patch:
#perf report 
   86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  perf-182.map        [.] 0x000000200000005c 
   86.96%     0.00%  hugepage-mmap  perf-182.map        [.] 0x00000020000000ac

We can add maps info to perf-182.map for further symbols-parsing.
