[PATCH 3/4] perf session: Avoid calling lseek(2) for pipe

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Jan 26 2023 - 19:20:47 EST


We should not call lseek(2) for pipes as it won't work. And we already
in the proper place to read the data for AUXTRACE. Add the comment like
in the PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA.
