perf tools: Add 'stop' control command

Browse source 
Adding control 'stop' command to stop perf record.

When it is received, perf will set the 'done' variable to 1 to stop its
mmap ring buffer reading loop.

Example session:

  terminal 1:
    # mkfifo control ack
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack

  terminal 2:
    # echo stop > control

  terminal 1:
    [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.214 MB perf.data (38280 samples) ]
