If no target is specified for 'latency' subcommand, the execution fails

Make system wide the default target, which is the same as the default
behavior of 'trace' subcommand.

I followed the convention to use -a for system-wide profiling.
Not sure if it's ok to make it default, but I don't object. :)

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, "perf ftrace latency" supports -a for system wide profiles.
Because "perf ftrace trace" defaults to system wide when no target is specified. Therefore, I sent the patch to check whether "latency" is consistent with the behavior of the "trace". :)

Thanks,
Yang.

Thanks,

Before the fix:

# perf ftrace latency -T schedule
failed to set ftrace pid

After the fix:
