7eac7e9e72 perf util: Fix do_read() to fail on EOF instead of busy-looping
While toying with perf, I've noticed that perf record can
easily enter a busy loop when doing something as silly as:

    $ perf record -A ls

Yeah, do_read here really wants to read a known size, not being
able to should die(), not busy-loop ;)

That was the cause for the bug.

1c222bce7d perf tools: Fix multi-counter stat bug caused by incorrect reading of perf.data file header
Brice Goglin reported that only the first result from a
multi-counter perf record --stat run is accurate, the
rest looks bogus.

A silly mistake made us re-read the first attribute for
every recorded attribute.
