Thinking more about it. For synthesizing event, we don't need to change the
comm_exec. PERF_RECORD_MISC_COMM_EXEC is not set in this stage.
But we should consider it if we want to multithread the event processing stage.

Since it's not an issue for now, I will drop this patch and add some comments
in the code for V3.

Thanks,
Kan
