perf_events: Report the MMAP pgoff value in bytes
DaveM reported that currently perf interprets the pgoff value reported by
the MMAP events as a byte range, but the kernel reports it as a page
offset.
Since its broken (and unusable) anyway, change the kernel behaviour (ABI)
to report bytes indeed, avoiding the need for userspace to deal with
PAGE_SIZE things.
