[PATCH 1/1] perf util: Do not reuse target->per_thread flag

[Mathieu Poirier]

Commit ("73c0ca1eee3d perf thread_map: Enumerate all threads from /proc")
is using the target->per_thread flag to specify that all threads in a
system should be taken into account.  That is then used in function
thread_map__new_str() where all threads are added to evlist->threads.

Variable target->per_thread is also used by 'perf record' when handling
trace sessions using the --per-thread command line option.  Since the
target->per_thread flag is set all threads will be added to
evlist->threads, which has the effect of creating a kernel event for each
thread in the system.

This patch address the issue by creating a new target->all_threads flag
that gets set from the 'stat' utility, avoiding any conflict with other
utilities using target->per_thread.
