Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix /proc/kcore access on 32 bit systems

Because _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE is set in perf, file offset sizes can be
64 bits. If a workflow needs to open /proc/kcore on a 32 bit system
(for example to decode Arm ETM kernel trace) then the size value will be
wrapped to 32 bits in the function file_size() at this line:

  dso->data.file_size = st.st_size;

Setting the file_size member to be u64 fixes the issue and allows
/proc/kcore to be opened.
