perf test: Wait for a new thread when testing --per-thread record

Just running the target program is not enough to test multi-thread
target because it'd be racy perf vs target startup.  I used the
initial delay but it cannot guarantee for perf to see the thread.

Instead, use wait_for_threads helper from shell/lib/waiting.sh to make
sure it starts the sibling thread first.  Then perf record can use -p
option to profile the target process.
