Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: fix perf_poll()


The below does seem to fix things (along with the previous kerneltop.c
patch),.. however now kerneltop is going splat like:

# ./kerneltop -e 1:2 -c 10
KernelTop refresh period: 2 seconds
ret: 1
 left: 0000000080200000
   ip: 000000008038d4ad
right: 00000000ffffffff
kerneltop: kerneltop.c:985: record_ip: Assertion `left <= ip && ip <= right' failed.
Aborted

Which isn't making much sense..

Only return a poll event when there's actually been one, poll_wait()
doesn't actually wait for the waitq you pass it, it only enqueues you on
it.

Only once all FDs have been iterated and non returned a poll-event will
it schedule().

Also make it return POLL_HUP when there's not mmap() area to read from.

Further, fix a silly bug in the write code.
