perf test: Stat output per thread of just the parent process

Per-thread mode requires either system-wide (-a), a pid (-p) or a tid
(-t).

The stat output tests were using system-wide mode but this is racy when
threads are starting and exiting - something that happens a lot when
running the tests in parallel (perf test -p).

Avoid the race conditions by using pid mode with the pid of the parent
process.
