Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e09b18d490 perf trace: Provide a better explanation when mmap fails
If we ask for a mmap lenght than the max configured via the relevant
sysctl, provide a better warning, instead of just expanding the EPERM
returned:

[acme@ssdandy ~]$ trace -m 256 -e nanosleep sleep 2
Error:	Operation not permitted.
Hint:	Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb (516 kB) setting.
Hint:	Tried using 1028 kB.
Hint:	Try using a bigger -m/--mmap-pages value.

[acme@ssdandy ~]$ trace -m 128 -e nanosleep sleep 2
  2001.280 (2000.403 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7fff89a8a7f0) = 0
[acme@ssdandy ~]$

An upcoming patch will autotune the request for non-root users when -m
is not used.
