Subject: [PATCH v1 3/7] perf cs-etm: Calculate per CPU metadata array size

The metadata array can be extended over time and the tool, if using the
predefined macro (like CS_ETMV4_PRIV_MAX for ETMv4) as metadata array
size to copy data, it can cause compatible issue within different
versions of perf tool.

E.g. we recorded a data file with an old version tool, afterwards if
use the new version perf tool to parse the file, since the metadata
array has been extended and the macro CS_ETMV4_PRIV_MAX has been
altered, if use it to parse the perf data with old format, this will
lead to mismatch.

To maintain backward compatibility, this patch calculates per CPU
metadata array size on the runtime, the calculation is based on the
info stored in the data file so that it's reliable.
