Subject: [PATCH v2] perf tool: Fix ppid for synthesized fork events

363b785f38 added synthesized fork events and set a thread's parent id
to itself. Since we are already processing /proc/<pid>/status the ppid
can be determined properly. Make it so.

Performance impact measured on a sparc based T5-8 (1024 CPUs):
$ ps -efL | wc -l
20185

Current code:
$ time perf record -o perf-no-ppid.data -e cpu-clock -F 1000 -a -v -BN -- usleep 1
mmap size 532480B
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
failed to write feature 9
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB perf-no-ppid.data ]

real	0m26.144s
user	0m0.452s
sys	0m25.564s

With PPID patch:
$ time ./perf_ppid record -o perf-ppid.data -e cpu-clock -F 1000 -a -v -BN -- usleep 1
mmap size 532480B
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
failed to write feature 9
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB perf-ppid.data ]

real	0m25.743s
user	0m0.268s
sys	0m25.368s
