[PATCH v2] perf test: Add skip to --per-thread test

[PATCH v2] perf test: Add skip to --per-thread test

[Ian Rogers]

As reported in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20220428122821.3652015-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com/
the 'instructions:u' event may not be supported. Add a skip using 'perf
record'.

Switch some code away from pipe to make the failures clearer.

Can you please resubmit this on top of my perf/core branch? I had
already applied Thomas fix and published perf/core publicly, so I rather
not rebase at this point.

Basically get your current tools/perf/tests/shell/record.sh file, with
this fix, copy it, clone my perf/core branch, copy
tools/perf/tests/shell/record.sh there and commit, then please resubmit
:-)
