perf report: Ask for ordered events for --tasks option 

If we have the time in, keep the events in time order.

Committer notes:

Trying to be more verbose, what actual effect this will have in this particular
case?

We don't have 'perf' calling 'perf' calling 'make', etc, the second
'perf' actually is 'make', i.e.  there was reordering of the relevant
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK records.

Ditto for sh/install later on.

Look for FORK and COMM meta events, for those tids:

  # perf report -D | egrep 'PERF_RECORD_(FORK|COMM)' | egrep '3243[34]'
  0 14774650990679 0x1a3cd8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(32433:32433):(3489:3489)

  #

First column is the cpu, second is the timestamp.

So they are on different CPUs, thus ring buffers, and when we don't use
the ordered_events class, we end up mixing that up, use it to take
advantage of the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND meta events to go on
ordering the events using the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME present in the
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,COMM,EXIT,SAMPLE,etc} records in the ring buffer.
