Subject: [Patch]fixed: perf cannot show existing process callgraph symbol

When 'perf record -g' a existing process, even with debuginfo
packages, still cannnot get symbol from 'perf report'.

try:
perf record -g -p `pidof xxx` -f
perf report

The reason is: for existing process, in __cmd_record(),
the pid is 0 rather than the existing process id.
