When studying code layout, it is useful to capture the page size of the
sampled code address.
Add a new sample type for code page size.
The new sample type requires collecting the ip. The code page size can
be calculated from the IRQ-safe perf_get_page_size().
Only the generic support is covered. The large PEBS will be disabled
with this sample type.

I think the reason is similar to PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_PAGE_SIZE. For large
PEBS, the mapping could be gone for the earlier PEBS records. Invalid
page size may be retrieved. I will update the commit message.
Thanks,
