Hmm.. I thought they're diffent kind of operation.  hist_entry__collapse
is in a process of iteration and he_stat__add_stat is not.  It's just
adding or copying entry's stat, so I thought it's something like memcpy
- hence the order.

If you really concern about ordering between them, maybe I can change
hist_entry__cmp() to receive (iter, he).
