perf_counter tools: Propagate signals properly

Currently report and stat catch SIGINT (and others) without altering
their exit state. This means that things like:

   while :; do perf stat ./foo ; done

Loops become hard-to-interrupt, because bash never sees perf terminate
due to interruption. Fix this.
