perf/core: Add PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP feature
The PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit is to save (perf_event) cgroup information in the sample. It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's the file handle in the cgroup file system. Userspace should use this information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it belongs. I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a 64-bit word. But if we want bigger samples, I can work on that direction too.
