Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf inject: Use perf_data__read() for auxtrace

In copy_bytes(), it reads the data from the (input) fd and writes it to
the output file.  But it does with the read(2) unconditionally which
caused a problem of mixing buffered vs unbuffered I/O together.

You can see the problem when using pipes.

  $ perf record -e intel_pt// -o- true | perf inject -b > /dev/null
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  0x45c0 [0x30]: failed to process type: 71

It should use perf_data__read() to honor the 'use_stdio' setting.

Fixes: 601366678c93 ("perf data: Allow to use stdio functions for pipe mode")
