Subject: [PATCH v1 5/6] perf parse-events: Vary default_breakpoint_len on i386
 and arm64

On arm64 the breakpoint length should be 4-bytes but 8-bytes is
tolerated as perf passes that as sizeof(long). Just pass the correct
value.

On i386 the sizeof(long) check in the kernel needs to match the
kernel's long size. Check using an environment (uname checks) whether
4 or 8 bytes needs to be passed. Cache the value in a static.
