perf record: Enable counters only when kernel is execing subcommand
'perf record' starts counters before subcommand is execed, so
the statistics is not precise because it includes data of some
preparation steps. I fix it with the patch.
In addition, change the condition to fork/exec subcommand. If
there is a subcommand parameter, perf always fork/exec it. The
usage example is:
# perf record -f -a sleep 10
So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only input CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.
