perf_counter: Log vfork as a fork event

Right now we don't output vfork events. Even though we should
always see an exec after a vfork, we may get perfcounter
samples between the vfork and exec. These samples can lead to
some confusion when parsing perfcounter data.

To keep things consistent we should always log a fork event. It
will result in a little more log data, but is less confusing to
trace parsing tools.
