[PATCH RFC 3/5] perf: Add namespaces to the sideband ioctl

[Adrian Hunter]

Support the case of output to an active event, and return an error if
output is not possible in that case. Set PERF_RECORD_MISC_STATUS_ONLY to
differentiate the ioctl status-only sideband event from a "real" sideband
event.
