Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tracing/stat: change dummpy_cmp() to return -1

Currently the output of trace_stat/workqueues is totally reversed:

 # cat /debug/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues
    ...
    1       17       17      210       37   `-blk_unplug_work+0x0/0x57
    1     3779     3779      181       11   |-cfq_kick_queue+0x0/0x2f
    1     3796     3796                     kblockd/1:120
    ...

The correct output should be:

    1     3796     3796                     kblockd/1:120
    1     3779     3779      181       11   |-cfq_kick_queue+0x0/0x2f
    1       17       17      210       37   `-blk_unplug_work+0x0/0x57

It's caused by "tracing/stat: replace linked list by an rbtree for sorting"
(53059c9b67a62a3dc8c80204d3da42b9267ea5a0).

dummpy_cmp() should return -1, so rb_node will always be inserted as
right-most node in the rbtree, thus we sort the output in ascending
order.

[ Impact: fix the output of trace_stat/workqueues ]
