[PATCH 08/21] perf hists: Sort hist entries by accumulated period

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

When callchain accumulation is requested, we need to sort the entries
by accumulated period value.  When accumulated periods of two entries
are same (i.e. single path callchain) put the caller above since
accumulation tends to put callers on higher position for obvious
reason.
