Stephane Eranian 2e6cdf996b perf tools: change event inheritance logic in stat and record
By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i
option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off
by default.

This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option.  By
default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t)
or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off
inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well.

The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not
start the counters.
