perf tools: Add 'stop' control command
Adding control 'stop' command to stop perf record.
When it is received, perf will set the 'done' variable to 1 to stop its
mmap ring buffer reading loop.
Example session:
terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack
terminal 2:
# echo stop > control
terminal 1:
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.214 MB perf.data (38280 samples) ]
