[PATCH 3/7] perf, tool: Add union u64_swap type for swapping u64 data

[Jiri Olsa]

The following union:
  union {
        u64 val64;
        u32 val32[2];
  } u;

is used on more than single places in perf code and will be used
more in upcomming patches.

Adding union u64_swap to have it defined globaly so we dont need
to redefine it all the time.
