perf probe: Allow placing uprobes in alternate namespaces.

Teaches perf how to place a uprobe on a file that's in a different mount
namespace.  The user must add the probe using the --target-ns argument
to perf probe.  Once it has been placed, it may be recorded against
without further namespace-specific commands.
