Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf sched timehist: Fix invalid runtime in the idle hist

When --idle-hist option is used, run/wait time and sched delay value
should be shown for idle task only.  But due to internal accounting, a
last thread has same value of next idle task's and it was shown.

In the below example, firefox after idle task has same run time of
idle task's.

  $ perf sched timehist --idle-hist
  Samples do not have callchains.
