Subject: perf tools: Fix copyfile_offset update of output offset

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>


[ Upstream commit fa1195ccc0af2d121abe0fe266a1caee8c265eea ]

We need to increase output offset in each iteration, not decrease it as
we currently do.

I guess we were lucky to finish in most cases in first iteration, so the
bug never showed. However it shows a lot when working with big (~4GB)
size data.
