Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 5/8] 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.

v2:
* Use atomic_set(&event_count, 1), since it must always be 0 in
  perf_pending_event_disable().
* Implicitly restrict inheriting events if sigtrap, but the child was
  cloned with CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND, because it is not generally safe if
  the child cleared all signal handlers to continue sending SIGTRAP.
