Subject: [PATCH] perf script: Fix hex dump character output

Using grep -C with perf script -D can give erroneous results as grep loses
lines due to non-printable characters, for example, below the 0020, 0060
and 0070 lines are missing:

 $ perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head

perf's isprint() is a custom implementation from the kernel, but the
kernel's _ctype appears to include characters from Latin-1 Supplement which
is not compatible with, for example, UTF-8. Fix by checking also isascii().

After:

 $ tools/perf/perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head
 .  0010:  08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
