perf_counter tools: Add locking to perf top

perf_counter tools: Add locking to perf top

We need to protect the active_symbols list as two threads change it:
the main thread adding entries to the head and the display thread
decaying entries from any place in the list.

Also related: take a snapshot of syme->count[0] before using it to
calculate the weight and to show the same number used in this calc when
displaying the symbol usage.
