A previous patch added a synthesized comm event for forked child
process but it missed that the event should contain area for
sample_id_hdr at the end. It worked by accident since the perf_event
union contains bigger event structs like mmap_events.
This patch fixes it by dynamically allocating event struct including
those area like in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map().
