perf/core improvements and fixes:

perf list:
 
   Jiri Olsa:
 
   - Display metric expressions for --details option
 
 perf record:
 
   Alexey Budankov:
 
   - Implement --affinity=node|cpu option, leftover, the other patches
     in this kit were already applied.
 
 perf trace:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Fix segfaults due to not properly handling negative file descriptor syscall args.
 
   - Fix segfault related to the 'waitid' 'options' prefix showing logic.

   Song Liu:
 
   - Silence "Couldn't synthesize bpf events" warning for EPERM.
 
 Build system:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
