perf_counter: fix perf_poll()

Impact: fix kerneltop 100% CPU usage

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 none of thm 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.
