perf report: Don't bother locking when adding hist entries
The 'perf report'command is single-threaded, so no need to grab a lock.
Although the fast path of pthread_mutex_[un]lock() is very fast, there's
a ~3% gain by eliminating it when we have huge sample data.
$ perf record -a -F 100000 -o perf.data.bench -- perf bench sched all
$ perf record -e cycles:upp -o perf.data.before -- \
> perf report -i perf.data.bench --stdio > /dev/null
... apply this patch ...
$ perf record -e cycles:upp -o perf.data.after -- \
> perf report -i perf.data.bench --stdio > /dev/null
