perf stat: Honour --timeout for forked workloads

When --timeout is used and a workload is specified to be started by
'perf stat', i.e.

  $ perf stat --timeout 1000 sleep 1h

The --timeout wasn't being honoured, i.e. the workload, 'sleep 1h' in
the above example, should be terminated after 1000ms, but it wasn't,
'perf stat' was waiting for it to finish.

Fix it by sending a SIGTERM when the timeout expires.

Now it works:

  # perf stat -e cycles --timeout 1234 sleep 1h
  sleep: Terminated

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1h':

           1,066,692      cycles

         1.234314838 seconds time elapsed

         0.000750000 seconds user
         0.000000000 seconds sys

  #
