perf report: Fix wrong LBR block sorting

Browse Source 
When '--total-cycles' is specified, it supports sorting for all blocks
by 'Sampled Cycles%'. This is useful to concentrate on the globally
hottest blocks.

'Sampled Cycles%' - block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles

But in current code, it doesn't use the cycles aggregation. Part of
'cycles' counting is possibly dropped for some overlap jumps. But for
identifying the hot block, we always need the full cycles.

  # perf record -b ./triad_loop
  # perf report --total-cycles --stdio

The hottest block '[triad_loop.c:64 -> triad_loop.c:65]' is not at
the top of output.

Now the hottest block is reported at the top of output.
