Subject: perf top: Fix window dimensions change handling

From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 89d0aeab4252adc2a7ea693637dd21c588bfa2d1 ]

The stdio perf top crashes when we change the terminal window size. The reason is that we assumed we get the perf_top pointer as a signal handler argument which is not the case.

Changing the SIGWINCH handler logic to change global resize variable, which is checked in the main thread loop.
