perf evlist: Improve the strerror_mmap method
Considering the per user locked pages limit, improve the message when a user uses multiple simultaneous perf mmap calls: When the request is more than the current maximum: [acme@ssdandy linux]$ trace -m 128 usleep 1 Error: Operation not permitted. Hint: Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb (516 kB) setting. Hint: Tried using 516 kB. Hint: Try 'sudo sh -c "echo 1032 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb"', or Hint: Try using a smaller -m/--mmap-pages value. [acme@ssdandy linux]$ And when the limit is less than that: [acme@ssdandy linux]$ trace -m 512 usleep 1 Error: Operation not permitted. Hint: Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb (2056 kB) setting. Hint: Tried using 2052 kB. Hint: Try using a smaller -m/--mmap-pages value.
