[patch] perf_counter tools: give perf top inherit option

[Mike Galbraith]

(This is applied on top of resurrect perf top annotation patch.  If that
one doesn't cut the mustard, please holler and I'll redo this one)

perf_counter tools: give perf top inherit option.

Currently, perf top -p only tracks the pid provided, which isn't very useful
for watching forky loads, so give it an inherit option.
