Subject[PATCH] perf record: Delete file if a failure occurs writing the perf data file
Date
If perf fails to write data to the data file (e.g., ENOSPC error) it fails
with the message:
failed to write perf data, error: No space left on device

and stops — killing the workload too. The file is an unknown state. Trying
to read it (e.g., perf report) fails with a SIGBUS error.

Fix by deleting the file on a failure.
