For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).
We have identified cases where it would not report the correct
mapping information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids.
We will revisit the support once we find a solution for this case.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2
is set. The patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP
for synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting attr->mmap2
mode because the kernel would reject it.

The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.

In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.
