perf ftrace: Fix undefined behavior in cmp_profile_data()
The comparison function cmp_profile_data() violates the C standard's
requirements for qsort() comparison functions, which mandate symmetry
and transitivity:
* Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
* Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.
When v1 and v2 are equal, the function incorrectly returns 1, breaking
symmetry and transitivity. This causes undefined behavior, which can
lead to memory corruption in certain versions of glibc [1].
Fix the issue by returning 0 when v1 and v2 are equal, ensuring
compliance with the C standard and preventing undefined behavior.
