[PATCH] perf hists: Fix children sort key behavior

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Dec 22 2014 - 23:31:29 EST

When perf report --children resorts output fields, it tries to put
caller above the callee. But this was only meaningful for a same
thread and doing this requires callchain enabled. So fix its check
before comparing the callchain depth.

This also changes the hist accumulation tests: In test 3, xmalloc in
bash thread should be above than other perf threads due to
alphabetical order of comm string. Also it's under page_fault in bash
thread since alphabetical order of dso name. The sys_perf_event_open
in perf thread is put on the last line since it's self overhead is 0.

In test 4, the sys_perf_event_open is put above other perf entries
that have same children overhead since its callchain depth is smaller.
