perf/urgent fixes:

User visible:
 
 - Fix buildid processing done at the end of a 'perf record' session, a
   problem that happened in workloads involving lots of small short-lived
   processes.  That code was not asking the perf_session layer to order
   the events.
 
   Make the code more robust to handle some of the problems with such
   out-of-order events and fix 'perf record' to ask for ordered events
   on systems where we have perf_event_attr.sample_id_all.  (Adrian Hunter)
 
 - Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV in 'perf top --stdio' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
