hum.. so we dont call perf_session__delete in case we propagate
the signal.. also the outer function's cleanups are not called:

        perf_evlist__delete(rec->evlist);
        symbol__exit();

the only cleanup I found that actually matters here and won't be
called is 'vdso__exit' which removes the temp vdso library file.

Maybe we could have one on_exit callback raising the signal
if needed.. at the time we are sure we called all out cleanup
functions.
