Add shell test to check if perf-record hangs when recording an arm_spe
event with forks.
The test FAILS if the Kernel is not patched with Commit 961c391217 ("perf:
Always wake the parent event").
Unpatched Kernel:
$ perf test -v 90
90: Check Arm SPE doesn't hang when there are forks
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 14232
Recording workload with fork
Log lines = 90 /tmp/__perf_test.stderr.0Nu0U
Log lines after 1 second = 90 /tmp/__perf_test.stderr.0Nu0U
SPE hang test: FAIL
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Check Arm SPE trace data in workload with forks: FAILED!
Patched Kernel:
$ perf test -v 90
90: Check Arm SPE doesn't hang when there are forks
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2930

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
