[PATCH/RFC 09/16] perf tools: Update hist entry's hists pointer

[Namhyung Kim]

When sample is processed using multi-thread, each sample is gathered on
each thread's hist tree and then merged into the real hist tree.  But
hist_entry->hists pointer was not updated so it could refer wrong hists
resulted in missing outputs.
