perf tsc: Calculate timestamp with cap_user_time_short



The perf mmap'ed buffer contains the flag 'cap_user_time_short' and two
extra fields 'time_cycles' and 'time_mask', perf tool needs to know them
for handling the counter wrapping case.

This patch is to reads out the relevant parameters from the head of the
first mmap'ed page and stores into the structure 'perf_tsc_conversion',
if the flag 'cap_user_time_short' has been set, it will firstly
calibrate cycle value for timestamp calculation.

Committer testing:

Before/after:

  # perf test tsc
  70: Convert perf time to TSC                                        : Ok
  #
  # perf test -v tsc
  70: Convert perf time to TSC                                        :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 11059
