perf perl scripts: Fix SIGALRM and pipe read race for rwtop

Fixing rwtop script race. The issue is caused by rwtop script triggering
SIGALRM and underneath pipe reading layer reporting error when
interrupted.

Fixing this by setting SA_RESTART for rwtop SIGALRM handler, which
avoids interruption of the pipe reading layer.

The discussion for this issue & fix is here:
