[PATCH v1 3/3] perf auxtrace arm: Support compat_auxtrace_mmap__{read_head|write_tail}

When the tool runs with compat mode on Arm platform, the kernel is in
64-bit mode and user space is in 32-bit mode; the user space can use
instructions "ldrd" and "strd" for 64-bit value atomicity.

This patch adds compat_auxtrace_mmap__{read_head|write_tail} for arm
building, it uses "ldrd" and "strd" instructions to ensure accessing
atomicity for aux head and tail.  The file arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c is
built for arm and arm64 building, these two functions are not needed for
arm64, so check the compiler macro "__arm__" to only include them for
arm building.
