Subject: [PATCH 1/7] perf tools: Fix report -F abort for data without branch info

The branch field sorting code assumes hist_entry::branch_info
is allocated, which is wrong and following perf session ends
up with report segfault.

  $ perf record ls
  $ perf report -F abort
  perf: Segmentation fault

Checking that hist_entry::branch_info is valid and display
"N/A" string in snprint callback if it's not.
