else path has piddir not set. Also as Namyhung pointed out target.pid 
can have multiple pids in it, so this fails if a user specified -p 
pid1,pid2 -- it will only check if the first process died.

Perhaps a more generic perf_target__is_alive function is needed that can 
check if the given tid(s) or pid(s) have terminated.
