If the ent.pid is not the pid you are interested in for this trace event, just
add a "pid" field to the trace event and place it there. Do not modify the
generic pid that is recorded, as we would like that to be consistent for all
trace events.

The "ent.pid" turns into "common_pid" in the field, leaving "pid" free to use.
Other trace events (like sched_waking) record a pid field that is not the same
as the pid of the executing task.

The "ent.pid" should always be the pid of the task that executed the event.
