perf/core: Add a new read format to get a number of lost samples
[ Upstream commit 119a784c81270eb88e573174ed2209225d646656 ]
Sometimes we want to know an accurate number of samples even if it's
lost. Currenlty PERF_RECORD_LOST is generated for a ring-buffer which
might be shared with other events. So it's hard to know per-event
lost count.
Add event->lost_samples field and PERF_FORMAT_LOST to retrieve it from
userspace.
