Leo Yan 60abedb8aa perf test: Introduce script for data symbol testing

The test is designed with a data structure with 64-byte alignment, it
has two fields "data1" and "data2", and other fields are reserved.

Using the "perf mem" command, we can record and report memory samples
for a self-contained workload with 1 second duration.  If no samples are
obtained for the data structure "buf1", it reports failure;  and by
checking the offset in structure "buf1", if the memory samples aren't
for the "data1" and "data2" fields, it means wrong data symbol parsing
and returns failure.

Committer testing:

  [root@quaco ~]# grep -m1 "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
  model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz
  [root@quaco ~]#
  [root@quaco ~]# perf test -v "data symbol"
