Subject[PATCHv3 1/2] perf tools: Fix raw sample reading
Date
Wrong pointer is being passed for raw data sanity checking,
when parsing sample event.

This ends up with invalid event and perf record being stuck in
__perf_session__process_events function during processing
build IDs (process_buildids function).

Following command hangs up in my setup:
./perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter ls

The fix is to use proper pointer to the raw data instead
of the 'u' union.
