Series perf tests: Reduce inexplicable test failures |

Commit Message

  The perf data symbol test waits 1 second for perf to run and collect data,
which may be too little if perf takes a long time to start up, which has
been noticed on systems with many CPUs. Use existing wait_for_perf_to_start
helper to wait for perf to start.
