[PATCH 13/16] perf tools: Defer export of comms that were not 'set'

[Adrian Hunter]

Tracing for a workload begins before the comm event
is seen, which results in the initial comm having a
string of the form ":<pid>" (e.g. ":12345").  In order
to export the correct string, defer the export until
the new script 'flush' callback.
