Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/4] perf/core: Add support for SIGTRAP on perf events

Adds bit perf_event_attr::sigtrap, which can be set to cause events to
send SIGTRAP (with si_code TRAP_PERF) to the task where the event
occurred. To distinguish perf events and allow user space to decode
si_perf (if set), the event type is set in si_errno.

The primary motivation is to support synchronous signals on perf events
in the task where an event (such as breakpoints) triggered.
