perf evlist: Expose perf_event_mlock_kb_in_pages() helper

When the user doesn't set --mmap-pages, perf_evlist__mmap() will do it
by reading the maximum possible for a non-root user from the
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb file.

Expose that function so that 'perf trace' can, for root users, to bump
mmap-pages to a higher value for root, based on the contents of this
proc file.
