[PATCH] perf bench: Change the procps visible command-name ofinvididual benchmark tests

[Ingo Molnar]

Before this patch, looking at 'perf bench sched pipe' behavior over 'top' 
only told us that something related to perf is running:

      PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
    19934 mingo     20   0 54836 1296  952 R 18.6  0.0   0:00.56 perf
    19935 mingo     20   0 54836  384   36 S 18.6  0.0   0:00.56 perf

After the patch it's clearly visible what's going on:

      PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
    19744 mingo     20   0  125m 3536 2644 R 68.2  0.0   0:01.12 sched-pipe
    19745 mingo     20   0  125m 1172  276 R 68.2  0.0   0:01.12 sched-pipe

The benchmark-subsystem name is concatenated with the individual testcase 
name.

Unfortunately 'perf top' does not show the reconfigured name, possibly 
because it caches ->comm[] values and does not recognize changes to them?

[ Also clean up a few bits in builtin-bench.c while at it. ]
