perf intel-tpebs: Don't close record on read

Factor sending record control fd code into its own function.

Rather than killing the record process send it a ping when reading.

Timeouts were witnessed if done too frequently, so only ping for the
first tpebs events.

Don't kill the record command send it a stop command.

As close isn't reliably called also close on evsel__exit.

Add extra checks on the record being terminated to avoid warnings.

Adjust the locking as needed and incorporate extra -Wthread-safety
checks.

Check to do six 500ms poll timeouts when sending commands, rather than
the larger 3000ms, to allow the record process terminating to be better
witnessed.
