Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] perf tools: Handle EINTR error for readn/writen

Those readn/writen functions are to ensure read/write does I/O for
a given size exactly.  But ion() - its implementation - does not
handle in case it returns prematurely due to a signal.  As it's not
an error itself so just retry the operation.
