The perf_evlist__prepare_workload() method works by forking and then
waiting on a fd that must be written to to allow the workload to be
exec()ed.
But if the tool calling it fails to, say, set up the events with which
it wants to sample the workload for, it will not call
perf_evlist__start_workload(), but even in this case the workload ended
up running:
[acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
workload ends up running, it should not...
[acme@zoo linux]$
So check if at least one byte was written before letting exec() be
called.
Now the expected behaviour:
[acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
[acme@zoo linux]$
