[PATCH 36/55] perf record: Re-synthesize tracking events after output switching

[Wang Nan]

Tracking events describe kernel and threads. They are generated by
reading /proc/kallsyms, /proc/*/maps and /proc/*/task/* during
initialization of 'perf record', serialized into event sequences and put
at the head of 'perf.data'. In case of output switching, each output
file should contain those events.

This patch calls record__synthesize() during output switching, so the
event sequences described above can be collected again.
