[PATCH v3 04/11] perf: Add support for event removal on exec

[Marco Elver]

Adds bit perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec, to support removing an event
from a task on exec.

This option supports the case where an event is supposed to be
process-wide only, and should not propagate beyond exec, to limit
monitoring to the original process image only.

v3:
* Rework based on Peter's "perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event()" added
  to the beginning of the series. Intermediate attempts between v2 and
  this v3 can be found here:
