perf/core: Update filters only on executable mmap

Function perf_event_mmap() is called by the MM subsystem each time
part of a binary is loaded in memory.  There can be several mapping
for a binary, many times unrelated to the code section.

Each time a section of a binary is mapped address filters are
updated, event when the map doesn't pertain to the code section.
The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map
event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code
segment.

For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library
'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code
that is in that library.  The perf cmd line for this scenario
would be:

  perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main

Resulting in binaries being mapped this way:

Before 'main()' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in
memory.  Once that has been done perf_event_mmap() has been called
4 times, with the last map starting at address 0x7fa25ce000 and
the address filter configured to start filtering when the
IP has passed over address 0x0x7fa25ce72c (0x7fa25ce000 + 0x72c).

But that is wrong since the code segment for library 'libcstest.so.1.0'
as been mapped at 0x7fa25bd000, resulting in traces not being
collected.

This patch corrects the situation by requesting that address
filters be updated only if the mapped event is for a code
segment.
