Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] perf: use hweight64 instead of hweight_long

On 32-bits platform with more than 32 registers, the 64 bits mask is
truncate to the lower 32 bits and the return value of hweight_long will
always smaller than 32. When kernel outputs more than 32 registers, but
the user perf program only counts 32, there will be a data mismatch
result to overflow check fail.
