Namhyung Kim 81e57deec3 perf report: Support data type profiling
Enable type annotation when the 'type' sort key is used.

It shows type of variables the samples access at the moment.  Users can
see which types are accessed frequently.

  $ perf report -s dso,type --stdio
  ...
  # Overhead  Shared Object      Data Type
  # ........  .................  .........
  #
      35.47%  [kernel.kallsyms]  (unknown)
       1.62%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct sched_entry
       1.23%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct cfs_rq
       0.83%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct task_struct
       0.34%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct list_head
       0.30%  [kernel.kallsyms]  struct mem_cgroup
  ...

Committer testing:

With the perf.data file collected in the previous cset:

  # perf report --stdio -s type
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 4  of event 'cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P'
  # Event count (approx.): 7

      42.86%  struct list_head
      42.86%  (unknown)
      14.29%  char

  #
  # (Tip: To record callchains for each sample: perf record -g)
