perf_counter: fix perf_poll()
Impact: fix kerneltop 100% CPU usage Only return a poll event when there's actually been one, poll_wait() doesn't actually wait for the waitq you pass it, it only enqueues you on it. Only once all FDs have been iterated and none of thm returned a poll-event will it schedule(). Also make it return POLL_HUP when there's not mmap() area to read from. Further, fix a silly bug in the write code.
