Something like this:

1. We tell perf_evlist__prepare_workload that we want a signal if execvp
fails, it will be a SIGUSR1

2. We catch that signal in 'stat' and check that we got a signal, only
problem so far with this signal maze is that we're getting a SIGCHLD
while I was expecting a SIGUSR1... I.e. the "if (signr != -1) test
really should be if (signr == SIGUSR1), but I'm getting a SIGCHLD there
and the elves are tugging me away...
