[PATCH V6 17/18] tools/perf: Update data_type_cmp and sort__typeoff_sort function to include var_name in comparison

[Athira Rajeev]

Currently data_type_cmp() only compares size and type name.
But in cases where the type name of two data type entries
is same, but var_name is different, the comparison can't distinguish
two different types.

Consider there is a "long unsigned int" with var_name as "X" and there
is global variable "long unsigned int". Currently since
data_type_cmp uses only type_name for comparison ( "long unsigned int"),
it won't distinguish these as separate entries. Update the
functions "data_type_cmp" as well as "sort__typeoff_sort" to
compare variable names after type name if it exists.

Also updated "hist_entry__typeoff_snprintf" to print var_name if
it is set. With the changes,

     11.42%  long unsigned int  long unsigned int +0 (current_stack_pointer)
     4.68%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +2312 (__current)
     4.57%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +2354 (irq_soft_mask)
     2.69%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +2808 (canary)
     2.68%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +8 (paca_index)
     2.24%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +48 (data_offset)
     1.43%  long unsigned int  long unsigned int +0 (no field)
