[PATCH 1/2] perf diff: Fix segfault on perf diff -o N option

[Namhyung Kim]

The -o/--order option is to select column number to sort a diff result.
It does the job by adding a hpp field at the beginning of the sort list.
But it should not be added to the output field list as it has no
callbacks required by a output field.

During the setup_sorting(), the perf_hpp__setup_output_field() appends
given sort keys to the output field if it's not there already.

Originally it was checked by the fmt->list being non-empty.  But commit
3f931f2c4274 changed it to check the ->equal callback.  Anyway we don't
need to add the pseudo hpp field to the output field list since it won't
be used for output.  So just skip fields if they have no ->color or
 ->entry callbacks.

Fixes: 3f931f2c4274 ("perf hists: Make hpp setup function generic")
