Subject: [PATCH 5/7] perf tools: Use event attributes to send sink information to kernel

The communication of sink information for a trace session doesn't work when
more than on CPU is involved in the scenario due to the static nature of
sysfs.  As such communicate the sink information to each event by using the
perf_event::attr:config2 attribute.  The information sent to the kernel is
an hash of the sink's name, which is unique in a system.
