Subject: [PATCH 4/5] perf record: Delay setting the header writing atexit call

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

While testing the --filter option I noticed that we were writing lots of
unneeded stuff to the perf.data header when the filter ioctl fails, so
move the atexit(atexit_header) call to after we create the counters
successfully.
