hum, so there's the same wakeup code in perf_output_sample,
but it's not called for non-sample (sideband) events

it'd be nice to have this wakeup only once in __perf_output_begin,
but it'd change the behaviour for sideband events, which would start to
follow the wakeup_events logic.. and possibly disturb Vince's tests?
