[RFC PATCH v8 3/7] perf stat: Fork and launch perf record when perf stat needs to get retire latency value for a metric.

[weilin.wang@intel.com]

From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@intel.com>

When retire_latency value is used in a metric formula, perf stat would fork a
perf record process with "-e" and "-W" options. Perf record will collect
required retire_latency values in parallel while perf stat is collecting
counting values.

At the point of time that perf stat stops counting, it would send sigterm signal
to perf record process and receiving sampling data back from perf record from a
pipe. Perf stat will then process the received data to get retire latency data
and calculate metric result.

Another thread is required to synchronize between perf stat and perf record
when we pass data through pipe.
