The synthesized events are same as PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
PROG_LOAD. We need to process them and fill perf_env as
soon as we get PROG_LOAD. Otherwise, the program might 
unload before we process them.

I will add more information to the change log.

It is OK we have PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT but not related
bpf_prog_info and btf. The perf.data file will show 
a BPF program was loaded, but we won't be able to do 
annotation. Does this make sense?
