Subject: perf top: Fix window dimensions change handling

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>


[ Upstream commit 89d0aeab4252adc2a7ea693637dd21c588bfa2d1 ]

The stdio perf top crashes when we change the terminal
window size. The reason is that we assumed we get the
perf_top pointer as a signal handler argument which is
not the case.

Changing the SIGWINCH handler logic to change global
resize variable, which is checked in the main thread
loop.
