[PATCH v2 10/10] perf stat: Resort '--per-thread' result

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon Nov 27 2017 - 01:12:54 EST


There are many threads reported if we enable '--per-thread'
globally.

1. Most of the threads are not counted or counting value 0.
This patch removes these threads.

2. We also resort the threads in display according to the
counting value. It's useful for user to see the hottest
threads easily.

For example, the new results would be:
