Yunlong Song f0dd330fdf perf sched replay: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root.

Example:

 $ ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5321918 Mar 25 15:14 perf.data
 $ sudo id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

 $ sudo perf sched replay -f
 run measurement overhead: 98 nsecs
 sleep measurement overhead: 52909 nsecs
 the run test took 1000015 nsecs
 the sleep test took 1054253 nsecs
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.

After this patch:

 $ sudo perf sched replay -f
 run measurement overhead: 221 nsecs
 sleep measurement overhead: 40514 nsecs
 the run test took 1000003 nsecs
 the sleep test took 1056098 nsecs

 nr_sleep_events:      1562
 nr_wakeup_events:     5

 task      2 (                  :3:         3), nr_events: 1
 ...
 ...
 task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
 task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10

 #9  : 248.338, ravg: 140.37, cpu: 4380.61 / 2801.87
 #10 : 511.139, ravg: 177.45, cpu: 3077.73 / 2829.45

As shown above, the -f option really works now.

Besides for replay, -f option can also work for latency and map.
