Subject: [PATCH] perf lock: Drop "-a" option from set of default arguments to cmd_record()

This patch drops "-a" from record_args, which is passed to cmd_record().

Even if user wants to record all lock events during process runs,
        perf lock record -a <program> <argument> ...
is enough for this purpose.

This can reduce size of perf.data.

% sudo ./perf lock record whoami
root
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.439 MB perf.data (~19170 samples) ]
% sudo ./perf lock record -a whoami   # with -a option
root
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 48.962 MB perf.data (~2139197 samples) ]

This patch was made on perf/test of random-tracing.git,
could you queue this, Frederic?
