[PATCH] perf stat: Poll for monitored tasks being alive in fork mode

[Jin Yao]

Following test shows the stat keeps running even if no longer
task to monitor (mgen exits at ~5s).

perf stat -e cycles -p `pgrep mgen` -I1000 -- sleep 10
            time             counts unit events
     1.000148916      1,308,365,864      cycles
     2.000379171      1,297,269,875      cycles
     3.000556719      1,297,187,078      cycles
     4.000914241        761,261,827      cycles
     5.001306091      <not counted>      cycles
     6.001676881      <not counted>      cycles
     7.002046336      <not counted>      cycles
     8.002405651      <not counted>      cycles
     9.002766625      <not counted>      cycles
    10.001395827      <not counted>      cycles

We'd better finish stat immediately if there's no longer task to
monitor.

After:

perf stat -e cycles -p `pgrep mgen` -I1000 -- sleep 10
            time             counts unit events
     1.000180062      1,236,592,661      cycles
     2.000421539      1,223,733,572      cycles
     3.000609910      1,297,047,663      cycles
     4.000807545      1,297,215,816      cycles
     5.001001578      1,297,208,032      cycles
     6.001390345        582,343,659      cycles
sleep: Terminated

Now the stat exits immediately when the monitored tasks ends.
