Krister Johansen 868a832918 perf top: Support lookup of symbols in other mount namespaces.
The perf top command needs to unshare its fs from the helper threads in
order to successfully setns(2) during its symbol lookup.  It also needs
to impelement a force flag to ignore ownership of perf-<pid>.map files.
