perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer
Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output.
In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we
ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without
this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer
to achieve this.
This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the
perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods
support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller
must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.
