[PATCH v4 1/2] perf stat: Close cork_fd when create_perf_stat_counter() failed

From: Levi Yun
Date: Fri Sep 13 2024 - 10:03:54 EST


When create_perf_stat_counter() failed, it doesn't close workload.cork_fd
open in evlist__prepare_workload(). This could make too many open file
error while __run_perf_stat() repeats.

Introduce evlist__cancel_workload to close workload.cork_fd and
wait workload.child_pid until exit to clear child process
when create_perf_stat_counter() is failed with COUNTER_FATAL.
