perf tools: Add time out to force stop proc map processing System wide sampling like 'perf top' or 'perf record -a' read all threads /proc/xxx/maps before sampling. If there are any threads which generating a keeping growing huge maps, perf will do infinite loop during synthesizing. Nothing will be sampled. This patch fixes this issue by adding per-thread timeout to force stop this kind of endless proc map processing. PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIME_OUT is introduced to indicate that the mmap record are truncated by time out. User will get warning notification when truncated mmap records are detected.
