I don't think this is enough. A hist entry should reference the comm
itself at that time. Saving thread can lead to referencing different
comm between insert and collapse time if thread changed the comm in the
meanwhile, right?
What about something like below:

Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Get current comm instead of last one
At insert time, a hist entry should reference comm at the time
otherwise it can get a different comm later.
