Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix time sorting

The final sort might get confused when the comparison
is done over bigger numbers than int like for -s time.

Check following report for longer workloads:
  $ perf report -s time -F time,overhead --stdio

Fixing hist_entry__sort to properly return int64_t and
not possible cut int.
