Threads share map_groups, all map events are merged into it.

Thus we could send mmaps only for thread group leader.
Otherwise it took ages to attach and record something from
processes with many vmas and threads.

Thread group leader could be already dead,
but it seems perf cannot handle this case anyway.

Testing dummy:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void *thread(void *arg) {
        pause();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        int threads = 10000;
        int vmas = 50000;
        pthread_t th;
        for (int i = 0; i < threads; i++)
                pthread_create(&th, NULL, thread, NULL);
        for (int i = 0; i < vmas; i++)
                mmap(NULL, 4096, (i & 1) ? PROT_READ : PROT_WRITE,
                     MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE, -1, 0);
        sleep(60);
        return 0;
}
