At first glance I thought your solution would do the trick but perf
record does use target->system_wide when the '-a' switch is used.
Moreover specifying the '-a' switch doesn't prevent the '--per-thread'
option from being used as well, making both target->perf_thread and
target_system_wide equal to true (and that is not good).

Although not a fan of adding more to struct target, the advantage of
having target->all_threads is that we are guaranteed that it isn't
used anywhere else.

Let me know what you think,
Mathieu
