gh-138122: Skip threads on EPERM in blocking mode profiler (GH-143368)
When using blocking mode in the remote debugging profiler, ptrace calls
to seize threads can fail with EPERM if the thread has exited between
listing and attaching, is in a special kernel state, or is already being
traced. Previously this raised a RuntimeError that was caught by the
Python sampling loop,and retried indefinitely since EPERM is
a persistent condition that will not resolve on its own.

Treat EPERM the same as ESRCH by returning 1 (skip this thread) instead
of -1 (fatal error). This allows profiling to continue with the threads
that can be traced rather than entering an endless retry loop printing
the same error message repeatedly.
