Chun-Tse Shao 208c0e1683 perf record: Add 8-byte aligned event type PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2
The original PERF_RECORD_COMPRESS is not 8-byte aligned, which can cause
asan runtime error:

  # Build with asan
  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O0 -g -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=undefined"
  # Test success with many asan runtime errors:
  $ /tmp/perf/perf test "Zstd perf.data compression/decompression" -vv
   83: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression:
  ...

Since there is no way to align compressed data in zstd compression, this
patch add a new event type `PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2`, which adds a field
`data_size` to specify the actual compressed data size.

The `header.size` contains the total record size, including the padding
at the end to make it 8-byte aligned.

Tested with `Zstd perf.data compression/decompression`
