Yonghong Song 450d060e8f bpftool: Add {i,d}tlb_misses support for bpftool profile
Commit 47c09d6a9f67("bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command")
introduced "bpftool prog profile" command which can be used
to profile bpf program with metrics like # of instructions,

This patch added support for itlb_misses and dtlb_misses.
During an internal bpf program performance evaluation,
I found these two metrics are also very useful. The following
is an example output:

 $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles itlb_misses

           1885029 run_cnt
        5134686073 cycles
            306893 itlb_misses

 $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles dtlb_misses

           1827382 run_cnt
        4943593648 cycles
           5975636 dtlb_misses

 $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles llc_misses

           1836527 run_cnt
        5019612972 cycles
           4161041 llc_misses

From the above, we can see quite some dtlb misses, 3 dtlb misses
perf prog run. This might be something worth further investigation.
