[PATCH] Enable the enable_on_exec flag if record forks the target

[Eric B Munson <ebmunson@us.ibm.com>]

When forking its target, perf record can capture data from before the target
application is started.  Perf stat uses the enable_on_exec flag in the event
attributes to keep from displaying events from before the target program
starts, this patch adds the same functionality to perf record when it is will
fork the target process.
