[PATCH v2 1/2] perf record: Propagate exit status of a command line workload

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

Currently perf record doesn't propagate the exit status of a workload
given by the command line.  But sometimes it'd useful if it's
propagated so that a monitoring script can handle errors
appropriately.

To do that, it got rid of exit handlers and run/call them directly in
the __cmd_record().  I don't see any reason why those are in a form of
exit handlers in the first place.  Also it cleaned up the resouce
management code in record__exit().

With this change, perf record returns the child exit status in case of
normal termination.  (Not sure what should be returned on abnormal
cases though).

Example run of Stephane's case:

  $ perf record false && echo yes || echo no
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
  no

And Jiri's case (error in parent):

  $ perf record -m 10G true && echo yes || echo no
  rounding mmap pages size to 17179869184 bytes (4194304 pages)
  failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
  no
