perf: Add PERF_EVENT_STATE_EXIT state for events with exited task
Adding new perf event state to indicate that the monitored task has
exited. In this case the event stays alive until the owner task exits
or close the event fd while providing the last data through the read
syscall and ring buffer.
Instead it needs to propagate the error info (monitored task has died)
via poll and read syscalls by returning POLLHUP and 0 respectively.
