Subject: perf tools: Fix trigger class trigger_on()

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

commit de19e5c3c51fdb1ff20d0f61d099db902ff7494b upstream.

trigger_on() means that the trigger is available but not ready, however
trigger_on() was making it ready. That can segfault if the signal comes
before trigger_ready(). e.g. (USR2 signal delivery not shown)

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -S sleep 1
  perf: Segmentation fault

Note, for testing purposes, this is hard to hit unless you add some sleep()
in builtin-record.c before record__open().
