perf bpf: Add sample types for 'bpf-output' event

Before this patch we can see very large time in the events before the
'bpf-output' event. For example:

  # perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
                      --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                      --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
                      usleep 10
  ...
  18446744073709.551 (18446564645918.480 ms): usleep/4157 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd3f0dc4e0) ...
  18446744073709.551 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
  179427791.076 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0))
  179427791.081 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:4157 [120] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120])
  ...

We can also see the differences between bpf-output events and
breakpoint events:

For bpf output event:
   sample_type                    IP|TID|RAW|IDENTIFIER

For tracepoint events:
   sample_type                    IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER

This patch fix this differences by adding more sample type for
bpf-output events.

After this patch:

  # perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
                      --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                      --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
                      usleep 10
  ...
  179877370.878 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/5336 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffff866c450) ...
  179877370.878 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
  179877370.878 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0))
  179877370.882 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:5336 [120] S ==> swapper/4:0 [120])
  179877370.945 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
  ...

  # ./perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
                        --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                        --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
                        usleep 10 2>&1 | grep sample_type
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
  sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW

The 'IDENTIFIER' info is not required because all events have the same
sample_type.

Committer notes:

Further testing, on top of the changes making 'perf trace' avoid samples
from events without PERF_SAMPLE_TIME:

Before:

  # trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ --ev /home/acme/bpf/test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 10

    18446640227439.430 (18446640227438.859 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc96643370) ...
    18446640227439.430 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
    0.576 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff81112460))
    18446640227439.430 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
    0.645 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_end:(ffffffff81112460 <- ffffffff81003d92))
    0.646 ( 0.076 ms):  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
