[RFC/PATCH 2/2] perf tools: Sort dso using pointers

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

The dso's in a perf session are maintained machine-wide so same dso is
shared by hist entries.  Thus just checking pointer should be enough
to comparing dso's.

It may change behavior of 'perf report -s dso' when there're two or
more dso's that have same basename - the dso's which have same name
used to merged to one unless -v option was given.  But I don't think
it's a big problem. ;)
