[PATCH 2/2] perf tests: add test for trace output loss

[Benjamin Peterson]

Add a test that checks that trace output is not lost to races. This is
accomplished by tracing the exit_group syscall of "true" multiple times and
checking for correct output.

Conveniently, this test also serves as a regression test for 5fb8e56542a3 ("perf
trace: avoid garbage when not printing a trace event's arguments") because
exit_group triggers the previously buggy printing behavior.
