Namhyung Kim f3dd19817e perf report: Don't bother locking when adding hist entries
The 'perf report'command is single-threaded, so no need to grab a lock.

Although the fast path of pthread_mutex_[un]lock() is very fast, there's
a ~3% gain by eliminating it when we have huge sample data.

  $ perf record -a -F 100000 -o perf.data.bench -- perf bench sched all
  $ perf record -e cycles:upp -o perf.data.before -- \
  > perf report -i perf.data.bench --stdio > /dev/null
  ... apply this patch ...
  $ perf record -e cycles:upp -o perf.data.after -- \
  > perf report -i perf.data.bench --stdio > /dev/null
  $ perf diff perf.data.{before,after} | grep pthread
