perf tools: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:

egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
sudo make install
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

perf test: Introduce script for data symbol testing

The test is designed with a data structure with 64-byte alignment, it
has two fields "data1" and "data2", and other fields are reserved.

Using the "perf mem" command, we can record and report memory samples
for a self-contained workload with 1 second duration. If no samples are
obtained for the data structure "buf1", it reports failure; and by
checking the offset in structure "buf1", if the memory samples aren't
for the "data1" and "data2" fields, it means wrong data symbol parsing
and returns failure.
