[ Upstream commit 791ce9c48c79210d2ffcdbe69421e7783b32921f ]

When executing the task exit testing case, perf gets stuck in an endless
loop this case and doesn't return back on Arm64 Juno board.

After digging into this issue, since Juno board has Arm's big.LITTLE
CPUs, thus the PMUs are not compatible between the big CPUs and little
CPUs.  This leads to a PMU event that cannot be enabled properly when
the traced task is migrated from one variant's CPU to another variant.
Finally, the test case runs into infinite loop for cannot read out any
event data after return from polling.

Eventually, we need to work out formal solution to allow PMU events can
be freely migrated from one CPU variant to another, but this is a
difficult task and a different topic.  This patch tries to fix the Perf
test case to avoid infinite loop, when the testing detects 1000 times
retrying for reading empty events, it will directly bail out and return
failure.  This allows the Perf tool can continue its other test cases.

[ Upstream commit 6add129c5d9210ada25217abc130df0b7096ee02 ]

When fail to mmap events in task exit case, it misses to set 'err' to
-1; thus the testing will not report failure for it.

This patch sets 'err' to -1 when fails to mmap events, thus Perf tool
can report correct result.

Move perf_evlist__poll() from tools/perf to libperf, it will be used in
the following patches.

And rename the existing perf's function to evlist__poll().

As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.

Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.

Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.

Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

Only a 'struct perf_cmp_map' forward allocation is necessary, fix the
places that need the header but were getting it indirectly, by luck,
from env.h.

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using
things from this indirect include.
