Subject: [PATCH v1 2/4] perf test: stat output per thread of just the parent process

Per-thread mode requires either system-wide (-a), a pid (-p) or a tid
(-t). The stat output tests were using system-wide mode but this is
racy when threads are starting and exiting - something that happens a
lot when running the tests in parallel (perf test -p). Avoid the race
conditions by using pid mode with the pid of the parent process.
