Filter can change parent entries' period so we need to resort after
applying a filter and this is why I pass 'false' for the
'use_callchain' param.

For example, let's say there're two top-level entries: A and B.  The A
has 40% overhead and the B has 30%.  But after applying filter the A
can have 10% and the B can have 15%.  So output should be changed to
put the B before the A.

I'll add a comment for this.

Thanks,
Namhyung
