perf report: Ask for ordered events for --tasks option
If we have the time in, keep the events in time order. Committer notes: Trying to be more verbose, what actual effect this will have in this particular case?

So they are on different CPUs, thus ring buffers, and when we don't use the ordered_events class, we end up mixing that up, use it to take advantage of the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND meta events to go on ordering the events using the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME present in the PERF_RECORD_{FORK,COMM,EXIT,SAMPLE,etc} records in the ring buffer.
