Hmm... looks like it's stuck on polling the trace_pipe:

  $ sudo strace ./perf ftrace -p `pgrep yes'
  ...
  poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4294967295


Need to investigate it more.

Along with it, I found that I didn't close fd in
__write_tracing_file().  I'll fix it in the next spin too.

Thanks for the review and testing!
