Kan Liang 27730c8cd6 perf script: Fix PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT support
-F weight in perf script is broken.

  # ./perf mem record
  # ./perf script -F weight
  Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have WEIGHT attribute set. Cannot
print 'weight' field.

The sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. They share the same space, weight. The
lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample type. The higher 32
bits may be different for different architecture. For a new kernel on
x86, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT is used. For an old kernel or other
ARCHs, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT is used.

With -F weight, current perf script will only check the input string
"weight" with the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Because the commit
ea8d0ed6ea ("perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT") didn't
update the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for perf script. For a
new kernel on x86, the check fails.

Use PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_TYPE, which supports both sample types, to
replace PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
