perf tools: Fix thread comm resolution in perf sched

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 9a92b479b2 ("perf
tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf sched") and fixes the
real bug.

The bug was elsewhere:

We are failing to resolve thread names in perf sched because the
table of threads we are building, on top of comm events, has a per
process granularity. But perf sched, unlike the other perf tools,
needs a per thread granularity as we are profiling every tasks
individually.

So fix it by building our threads table using the tid instead of
the pid as the thread identifier.

v2: Revert the previous fix - it is not really needed
