[RFC/PATCH 11/38] perf tools: Introduce thread__comm(_str)_by_time() helpers

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

When data file indexing is enabled, it processes all task, comm and mmap
events first and then goes to the sample events.  So all it sees is the
last comm of a thread although it has information at the time of sample.

Sort thread's comm by time so that it can find appropriate comm at the
sample time.  The thread__comm_by_time() will mostly work even if
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME bit is off since in that case, sample->time will be
-1 so it'll take the last comm anyway.
