Subject: [PATCH v7] perf annotate: Fix sample events lost in stdio mode

In hist__find_annotations function, since different hist_entry may point to same
symbol, we free notes->src to signal already processed this symbol in stdio mode;
when annotate, entry will skipped if notes->src is NULL to avoid repeated output.

However, there is a problem, for example, run the following command:

 # perf record -e branch-misses -e branch-instructions -a sleep 1

perf.data file contains different types of sample event.

If the same IP sample event exists in branch-misses and branch-instructions,
this event uses the same symbol. When annotate branch-misses events, notes->src
corresponding to this event is set to null, as a result, when annotate
branch-instructions events, this event is skipped and no annotate is output.

Solution of this patch is to remove zfree in hists__find_annotations and
change sort order to "dso,symbol" to avoid duplicate output when different
processes correspond to the same symbol.

---

Changes since v6:
  - Remove separate setup_sorting() for branch mode.

Changes since v5:
  - Add Signed-off-by tag.

Changes since v4:
  - Use the same sort key "dso,symbol" in branch stack mode.

Changes since v3:
  - Modify the first line of comments.

Changes since v2:
  - Remove zfree in hists__find_annotations.
  - Change sort order to avoid duplicate output.

Changes since v1:
  - Change processed flag variable from u8 to bool.
