Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] perf: add new option '--workload-attr' to set workload sched_policy/priority/mask

To get consistent benchmarking results, sometimes we need to set the
sched_policy/priority/mask of the workload to reduce system noise.

For example, CPU binding is required on big.little system.

  $ perf stat -- taskset -c 0 ls

Nevertheless, the 'taskset' is also counted here.

To get away of the middleman, this adds a new option '--workload-attr' to
do the same jobs for stat and record commands.

  $ sudo perf stat --workload-attr fifo,40,0-3:7 -- ls

Above will make 'ls' run on CPU #0-#3 and #7 with fifo scheduler and
realtime priority is 40.

Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@...wei.com>

---
v2: Use cpu list spec instead of cpu mask number.
