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.
