perf sched: Don't read all tracepoint variables in advance

Do it just at the actual consumer of these fields, that way we avoid
needless lookups:

  [root@sandy ~]# perf sched record sleep 30s
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 8.585 MB perf.data (~375063 samples) ]
