Since commit 14d3d5405253 ("perf session: Try to read pipe data from file")
perf inject has started printing "PERFILE2h" when not processing pipes.
The commit exposed perf to the possiblity that the input is not a pipe but
the 'repipe' parameter gets used. That causes the printing because perf
inject sets 'repipe' to true always.
The 'repipe' parameter of perf_session__new() is used by 2 functions:
- perf_file_header__read_pipe()
- trace_report()
In both cases, the functions copy data to STDOUT_FILENO when 'repipe' is
true.
Fix by setting 'repipe' to true only if the output is a pipe.
