Loops bodies are mostly identical. The only difference is in events
they wait for and API used for that. Adding of more events will
complicate further. The code is duplicated, thus needs refactoring.
If the following patch complicates lets organize the patch it into
several smaller functions.

That's of course possible, but doesn't manage existing complexity
at the first place - __run_perf_stat().

Let's still have handle_events() as a general dispatcher and implement
handlers for different events as separate functions?
