perf lock: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf lock to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root.

Example:

 # perf lock record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4880686 Apr  2 14:14 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

 # perf lock report
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 Initializing perf session failed
 # perf lock report -f
   Error: unknown switch `f'

  usage: perf lock report [<options>]

     -k, --key <acquired>  key for sorting (acquired / contended /
     avg_wait / wait_total / wait_max / wait_min)

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.

After this patch:

 # perf lock report
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 Initializing perf session failed
 # perf lock report -f
                Name   acquired  contended   avg wait (ns) total wait (ns) ...

 ...

As shown above, the -f option really works now.
