also I spot this one and couldn't think of reason for it, attached
patch makes no behaviour difference for me..

I might be missing something, but I dont see any blocking operation
in perf related data reads. The git log history says it was there
since early days.

There's no reason for the current user of this API
to have non blocking fds. Also it should be up to
user to set this, not this object.
