[PATCH 1/5] perf tools: Do not set O_NONBLOCK flag for perf event fd

[Jiri Olsa]

We don't need O_NONBLOCK flag on perf event file descriptors.

Aside the fact that file descriptors in evlist::pollfd are
never used in read syscall (write syscall is not supported),
the kernel perf read syscall path could never block anyway.
