[PATCH v3 2/3] perf sched stats: Fix SIGCHLD vs pause() race in schedstat_live()

[Swapnil Sapkal]

perf_sched__schedstat_live() has the same lost-wakeup race as
perf_sched__schedstat_record(): a short-lived workload's SIGCHLD
can be consumed by the signal handler before pause() is entered,
hanging the process.

Apply the same fix: use waitpid() for workload mode and
'while (!done) sleep(1)' for system-wide mode.
