[PATCH/RFC 11/16] perf top: Implement basic parallel processing

[Namhyung Kim]

This patch changes perf top to process event samples with multiple
threads.  For now, each mmap is read and processed with its own hists by
dedicated reader threads in parallel.  And then a single collector
thread gathers the hist entries and move it to the evsel's hists tree.
As usual, a single UI thread will display them.
