[PATCH v4 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: replace pause() with a loop checking the 'done'
flag and using waitpid(WNOHANG) for the workload case.
