      perf tools: Speed up thread map generation

We ended up emitting PERF_RECORD_FORK events after their corresponding
PERF_RECORD_COMM, so the code below will remove the "existing thread"
and then recreates it, unnecessarily:

  [root@ssdandy ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L machine__process_fork_event
  <machine__process_fork_event@/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/util/machine.c:0>
      0  int machine__process_fork_event(struct machine *machine, union perf_event *event,
                                        struct perf_sample *sample)
      2  {
      3         struct thread *thread = machine__find_thread(machine,
                                                             event->fork.pid,
                                                             event->fork.tid);
      6         struct thread *parent = machine__findnew_thread(machine,
                                                                event->fork.ppid,
                                                                event->fork.ptid);

                /* if a thread currently exists for the thread id remove it */
                if (thread != NULL)
     12                 machine__remove_thread(machine, thread);

     14         thread = machine__findnew_thread(machine, event->fork.pid,
                                                 event->fork.tid);
     16         if (dump_trace)
     17                 perf_event__fprintf_task(event, stdout);

     19         if (thread == NULL || parent == NULL ||
     20             thread__fork(thread, parent, sample->time) < 0) {
     21                 dump_printf("problem processing PERF_RECORD_FORK, skipping event.\n");
     22                 return -1;
                }

     25         return 0;
     26  }

  [root@ssdandy ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf fork_after_comm=machine__process_fork_event:12
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:fork_after_comm (on machine__process_fork_event:12 in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_perf:fork_after_comm -aR sleep 1

  [root@ssdandy ~]#

  [root@ssdandy ~]# perf record -g -e probe_perf:* trace -o /tmp/bla
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.021 MB perf.data (30 samples) ]
  Terminated
  [root@ssdandy ~]#

  [root@ssdandy ~]# perf report --no-children --show-total-period --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Samples: 30  of event 'probe_perf:fork_after_comm'
  # Event count (approx.): 30
  #
  # Overhead        Period  Command  Shared Object  Symbol
  # ........  ............  .......  .............  ...............................
  #
     100.00%            30  trace    trace          [.] machine__process_fork_event
                |
                ---machine__process_fork_event
                   __event__synthesize_thread.part.2
                   perf_event__synthesize_threads
                   cmd_trace
                   main
                   __libc_start_main

  [root@ssdandy ~]#

  And Looking at 'perf report -D' output we see it:

  0 0 0x8698 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: auditd:703/707
  0 0 0x86c8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(703:707):(703:703)

Fix it by more closely mimicking how the kernel generates those records
when a new fork happens, i.e. first a PERF_RECORD_FORK, then a
PERF_RECORD_COMM.
