perf header: Add die information in CPU topology
With the new CPUID.1F, a new level type of CPU topology, 'die', is introduced. The 'die' information in CPU topology should be added in perf header. To be compatible with old perf.data, the patch checks the section size before reading the die information. The new info is added at the end of the cpu_topology section, the old perf tool ignores the extra data. It never reads data crossing the section boundary. The new perf tool with the patch can be used on legacy kernel. Add a new function has_die_topology() to check if die topology information is supported by kernel. The function only check X86 and CPU 0. Assuming other CPUs have same topology. Use similar method for core and socket to support die id and sibling dies string.
