Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix thread comm resolution in perf sched

We are failing to resolve thread names in perf sched because the table
of threads we are building, on top of comm events, has a per process
granularity. But perf sched, unlike the other perf tools, needs a per
thread granularity as we are profiling every tasks individually.

So fix it by building our threads table using the tid instead of the pid
as the thread identifier.
