perf evlist: Improve the strerror_mmap method

Considering the per user locked pages limit, improve the message when a
user uses multiple simultaneous perf mmap calls:

When the request is more than the current maximum:

  [acme@ssdandy linux]$ trace -m 128 usleep 1
  Error: Operation not permitted.
  Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb (516 kB) setting.
  Hint:  Tried using 516 kB.
  Hint:  Try 'sudo sh -c "echo 1032 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb"', or
  Hint:  Try using a smaller -m/--mmap-pages value.
  [acme@ssdandy linux]$

And when the limit is less than that:

  [acme@ssdandy linux]$ trace -m 512 usleep 1
  Error: Operation not permitted.
  Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb (2056 kB) setting.
  Hint:  Tried using 2052 kB.
  Hint:  Try using a smaller -m/--mmap-pages value.
