In case the sampling buffer has no "payload" pages,
nr_pages is 0. The problem is that the error path in
perf_output_begin() skips to a label which assumes
perf_output_lock() has been issued which is not the
case. That triggers a WARN_ON() in
perf_output_unlock().
This patch fixes the problem by skipping
perf_output_unlock() in case data->nr_pages is 0.

That happened for an old perf.data file that had no fake MMAP events for
the kernel modules, but even then it should warn once for each module,
not one time for every symbol in every module not found.

At least on rawhide using -lnewt is not enough if we use SLang routines
directly, so add an explicit -lslang since we use SLang routines.

OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these
tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin
compatible with unsigned int.
Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a
const char * type.

To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:
bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.
With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.
Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.
This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.
Commiter note:
Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

In fact it is now added to the hot key list when newt_form__new is used,
allowing us to remove the explicit assignment in all its users.
The visible change is that <- will exit the menu that pops up when -> is
pressed (and Enter when callchains are not being used).

Right now that means that pressing the left arrow willl make the symbol
annotation window to exit back to the main symbol histogram browser.
This is another improvement on the UI fastpath, i.e. just the arrows and
enter are enough for most browsing.

Ming has narrowed it down to a comparision issue
between arguments with different sizes and
signs. As result event index reached a wrong
value which in turn led to a GP fault.
At the same time it was found that p4_next_cntr
has broken logic and should return the counter
index only if it was not yet borrowed for
another event.

After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-
(left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied.
It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.
With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key
to expand collapse callchains.
